Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They just told me, take a pause
Here between the takes at the studio
And you came into my mind
[Verse 2]
It's kinda funny for you were the cause
Of me being here on the radio
And though that's another time
[Chorus]
I'm still wanting you
I've been hunting for you
I'm still wanting you
I need to find you
I'm just the same sad singer
Of the lonely songs
You long since left behind you
[Verse 3]
Since you've gone I've gone along
Been writing the music I've always wanted to
And they just picked up on me
[Verse 4]
I'm putting myself here inside each song
And finding my music is still so full of you
I dreamed of bein' here
But I never dreamed that you would be
So long time gone from me
[Chorus]
Yo, I'm still wanting you
I've been hunting for you
I'm still wanting you
I need to find you
I'm just a same sad singer of the lonely songs
You long since left behind you
[Bridge]
Oh, me finding music's why I lost you
Now it's the only chance I've got
They're bringin' in the strings to melt your heart somehow
You couldn't hear me then
But maybe you can hear me now
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm still wanting you
I've been hunting for you
I'm still wanting you
I need to find you
I'm just the same sad singer of the lonely songs
You long since left behind you
When I'm still, I'm still wanting you
