The Things You Want

Sam whispered to Rita, He said, "Babe, what's on your mind?" She said, "You could have done better" "Yeah, but I don't really mind" He asked, "Is that Springsteen or Dylan That you're quoting from? Why is it every time I turn around, It looks like you were starting to run?" He said, "Don't waste your whole life, baby, Don't think twice, things ain't always that clear... Sometimes it seems, The things you want Are already here Sometimes it seems, The things you want Are already here" You see, my Daddy was so quiet, Yeah, he hardly spoke a word I knew something wasn't right, I could tell the way he hurt Then one day I heard him say, To some guy I didn't know That if it weren't for us kids, He'd have left a long time ago And it hurts me to this day, That he had to live that way Did Mama whisper in his ear... "Sometimes it seems, The things you want Are already here Cause sometimes it seems, The things you want Are already here." Cause sometimes it seems, Mama you're in my dreams Cause sometimes it seems, The things you want Are already here Sing a sweet song of salvation, Sing a prayer for the mutineer Babe, don't you know I want you so, And I think you should know, Yeah I want you to know Sam said, "Nobody's perfect I guess if I had some regrets, Is that I wasted so much time... Waiting for things I never get How was I to know? How could I have been so blind? Maybe I wouldn't be alone, With all I never seem to find." Sometimes it's hard to see, The things you really need When they're standing oh so near Sometimes it seems, The things you want Are already here Cause sometimes it seems, The things you want Are already here Cause sometimes it seems, Mama you're in my dreams Cause sometimes it seems, The things you want Are already here Cause sometimes it seems, The things you want Are already here Cause sometimes it seems, Mama you're in my dreams
