Lyrics

THESE ARE THE THINGS I CRAVE

V1:
SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROWD
I’LL SEE YOU SMILE AT ME AND I BECOME WEIGHTLESS
A PEACEFULNESS ENVELOPES ME
IT IS THE COMFORT OF FEELING
SOMEONE KNOWS ME BETTER THAN I KNOW MYSELF

CH:
THESE ARE THE THINGS I CRAVE
THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT BRING ME CONTENTMENT EACH AND EVERY DAY
THESE ARE THE THINGS I CRAVE
THESE ARE THE THINGS I WANT FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS
THESE ARE THE THINGS I CRAVE

V2:
SOMETIMES WHEN WE’RE SITTING ON THE COUCH
WATCHING TV AND THE DOG’S NESTLED UP BETWEEN US
YOU’LL LOOK AT ME AND I’LL LOOK AT YOU AND WE’LL BEGIN TO LAUGH HYSTERICALLY
AT SOMETHING NO ONE ELSE WOULD FIND AMUSING

CH:
THESE ARE THE THINGS I CRAVE
THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT BRING ME CONTENTMENT EACH AND EVERY DAY
THESE ARE THE THINGS I CRAVE
THESE ARE THE THINGS I WANT FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS
THESE ARE THE THINGS I CRAVE

BRIDGE:
AND IF I SHOULD LEAVE YOU TOMORROW
IT WOULDN’T BE A CHOICE THAT I’D MADE
YOUR EYES ARE THE MAP TO MY FUTURE
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE I’D SURELY LOSE MY WAY.

V3:
SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
I’LL AWAKEN FROM A DREAM AND SEE YOU SLEEPING THERE BESIDE ME
JUST LIKE A LITTLE GIRL YOU’VE GOT THE COVERS PULLED UP HIGH OVER YOUR HEAD
AND YOU LOOK SO SAFE AND WARM

CH:
THESE ARE THE THINGS I CRAVE
THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT BRING ME CONTENTMENT EACH AND EVERY DAY
THESE ARE THE THINGS I CRAVE
THESE ARE THE THINGS I WANT FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS
THESE ARE THE THINGS I CRAVE
