We tried to make ourselves pay for something we'd never done threw the best parts of life away on street talk, strangers and drugs but what we really want is love what we really need is love I want to call out your name I want to hold out my hand the woman silent in the mirror tonight wants to talk to your mirror man and what they really want is love what they really need is love We are ships in the night the water's deep in between the air is freezing and we can't find the light so we sail off into our dreams but what we really dream is love what we really need is love what we want is love what we need is love I tried to make it feel right in someone else's world I sat and looked out my window last night and knew that things had changed for this girl 'cause what I really found is love what I really feel is love what we want is love what we need is love
