about

For the 10th Anniversary of this fan-favorite album, Lex revisits the songs in their original form, with their more-nascent arrangements and lyrics.

"What I Want From You" chronicles the torment of loving someone you shouldn't, and trying to make sense of it all while feeling terribly lonely and unworthy of being loved in return.

lyrics

I see you everyday
it's a natural thing
a natural thing I would like to avoid
questioning
except that at every touch
a spark is ignited I'd die to ignore
but due to no fault of mine my eyes and my voice keep
begging you for more...

this is different from everything else
I can feel it
in how I think
the days are structured around your steps and it's hard for me
to decipher
what you see
so I'll wait for the pass
that'll never be made
feel sorry you left and keep
wishing you'd stayed
but if I only got you for a little while
that small bit of time
would be fine...

but then as soon as I start to dream
I'm stopped in my tracks by reality
'cause really why would you ever want me?
why would anyone ever want me?

I don't know what I want from you yet
but please stay a while and watch the rain
I don't know what I want from you yet
but let's just sit outside and watch the rain
I don't know what I want from you yet but
I'd love to stay awhile and watch you rain
and I don't know what you want from me yet, but,
please, stay a while and watch me rain
