Lyrics

I Want
© 2025 Michael Hanson Cantwell

Verse 1
We're laughing in a crowded room,
Talking 'bout the stars and the moon.
You brush my hand, I catch my breath,
This feels like something I won't forget.

Pre-Chorus
But behind the smile, there's a voice I hide,
Asking if I'm enough inside.

Chorus
I want to dive, not just swim.
I want to burn like the brightest flame.
Ignite the fire, never be the same.
Every breath, every dream,
I want to be taken to the limit of what love means.

I want...

Verse 2
Your stories light a spark in me,
But can you love what you can't see?
There's a part of me that longs to break,
Through the fear of what's at stake.

Pre-Chorus
If I let you in, would you still stay,
Or would the truth just drift away?

Chorus
I want to dive, not just swim.
I want to burn like the brightest flame.
Ignite the fire, never be the same.
Every breath, every dream,
I want to be taken to the limit of what love means.

I want...

Bridge
If I reveal my inner self, will I be enough?
If I bare my soul, will you turn away?
Loving who I am, might be tough
If I'm too much, would you still stay?
Because deep down, this is my truth to give:
I WANT TO LOVE MORE THAN I WANT TO LIVE!

Chorus
I want to dive, not just swim.
I want to burn like the brightest flame.
Ignite the fire, never be the same.
Every breath, every dream,
I want to be taken to the limit of what love means.

I want...

I want...
