[Verse 1]
I see you laughing in their world
I’m stuck watching from the side
They draw their lines around your heart
Like I’m the danger you should hide
You look at me a second too long
Then look away like it meant nothing
But I feel every little flinch
Every almost
Every wanting
[Chorus]
I want you
I want you
They built these walls
But I’ll walk through
If it takes a day or a year
I’ll still be standing here
You’re everything a man could dream
I’ll bleed
I’ll break
I’ll pay the cost
Whatever they try to keep between us
I’m gonna have you
No matter the loss
[Verse 2]
They call it “wrong
” they call it “late”
Like love has rules and closing time
But when your fingers brush my hand
It’s the only thing that feels right
I hear your name and I go quiet
Like a secret in my chest
Tell me
Do you ever lie awake
And picture us instead of them?
[Chorus]
I want you
I want you
They built these walls
But I’ll walk through
If it takes a day or a year
I’ll still be standing here
You’re everything a man could dream
I’ll bleed
I’ll break
I’ll pay the cost
Whatever they try to keep between us
I’m gonna have you
No matter the loss
[Bridge]
Maybe I lose my friends
Maybe I lose my place
But I can’t keep pretending
I don’t crave your face
If loving you is wrong
Then I’m done trying to be right
I’ll choose your hand
Over their side
[Chorus]
I want you
I want you
They built these walls
But I’ll walk through
If it takes a day or a year
I’ll still be standing here
You’re everything a man could dream
I’ll bleed
I’ll break
I’ll pay the cost
Whatever they try to keep between us
I’m gonna have you
I’m gonna have you
No matter the loss
