Songs About Wanting To Be With Someone But Cant..


Recommended Posts

No song reminds me of being with someone else as I am happy with my better half. There are some soul songs of the 70's that remind me of this topic.

Kiss And Say Goodbye - The Manhattans

Me And Mrs. Jones - Billy Paul

If Loving You Is Wrong I Don't Wanna Be Right - Luther Ingram

The Agony And The Ecstasy - Smokey Robinson

" I Want You " -John Lennon : there is NO rock song which sums up this feeling better ....

Oh yeah? Try this one...."Art Lover" by the Kinks

"Sunday afternoon there's something special

It's just like another world.

Jogging in the park is my excuse

To look at all the little girls.

I'm not a flasher in a rain coat,

I'm not a dirty old man,

I'm not gonna snatch you from your mother,

I'm an art lover.

Come to daddy,

Ah, come to daddy,

Come to daddy.

Pretty little legs, I want to draw them,

Like a Degas ballerina.

Pure white skin, like porcelain,

She's a work of art and I should know, I'm an art lover.

Come to daddy,

And I'll give you some spangles.

Little girl don't notice me

Watching as she innocently plays.

She can't see me staring at her

Because I'm always wearing shades.

She feeds the ducks, looks at the flowers.

I follow her around for hours and hours.

I'd take her home, but that could never be,

She's just a substitute

For what's been taken from me.

Ah, come to daddy, come on.

Sunday afternoon can't last forever,

Wish I could take you home.

So, come on, give us a smile

Before you vanish out of view.

I've learned to appreciate you the way art lovers do,

And I only want to look at you."

About a guy, everytime you try to go with him it just doesn't work out..everyday he goes through you're mind. Just every little thing doesn't want you two together and so therefore you can never be together but you wanna be with them so bad.

Hehe. Like "#1 Crush" by Garbage kind of "bad"? :help: I love that song, though ::

Looks so good that it hurts

You?re a dime plus 99

And its a shame

You don?t even know what your worth

Everywhere you go

They stop and stare

Cause you're bad and it shows

From your head

To your toes

Out of control

Oh baby you know

If I was your man

Baby you?d

Never worry bout

What I do

Back to you

Give you everything you want and need

Here's a very real one for me:

Every Little Kiss

-Bruce Hornsby

Way out here, working on the docks

Everyone sees the long day through.

What would I do without the nights and the phone

And the chance just to talk to you?

What would I do now...

Just to talk to you

A thousand miles away....

What I wouldn't give for only one night

A little relief in sight

Or someday when times weren't so tight.

When the day goes down on the water town,

When the sun sinks low all around

That's when I know I need you now.

You're what I miss,

Every little kiss....

Everybody here's a number, not a name,

But I guess that's all right with me.

As I sit alone after a long day

In the abscence of company

Oh I let my mind wander

A thousand miles away....

What I wouldn't give for only one night

A little relief in sight

Or someday when times weren't so tight.

When the day goes down on the water town,

When the sun sinks low all around

That's the time I know I need you now.

You're what I miss,

Every little kiss....

So Far Away

-Dire Straits

Here I am again in this mean old town

And you're so far away from me

And where are you when the sun goes down

You're so far away from me

So far away from me

So far I just can't see

So far away from me

You're so far away from me

I'm tired of being in love and being all alone

When you're so far away from me

I'm tired of making out on the telephone

And you're so far away from me

So far away from me

So far I just can't see

So far away from me

You're so far away from me

I get so tired when I have to explain

When you're so far away from me

See you been in the sun and I've been in the rain

And you're so far away from me

So far away from me

So far I just can't see

So far away from me

You're so far away from me

IT DON?T MATTER TO ME

-Bread

It don?t matter to me

If you really feel that

You need sometime to be free

Time to go out searching for yourself

Hoping to find time to go to find

And it don?t matter to me

If you take up with someone

Who?s better than me

?cause your happiness is all I want

For you to find peace your piece of mind

Lotta people have an ego hang-up

?cause they want to be the only one

How many came before it really doesn?t matter

Just as long as you?re the last

Everybody?s moving on and try to find out

What?s been missing in the past

And it don?t matter to me

If your searching brings you back together with me

?cause there?ll always be

An empty room waiting for you

An open heart waiting for you

Time is on my side

?cause it don?t matter to me

It don?t matter to me....

Here Without You by 3 Doors Down

A hundred days had made me older since the last time that I saw your pretty face

A thousand lights had made me colder and I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles had separate

They disappeared now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby but you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams

And tonight it's only you and me

The miles just keep rolling as the people leave their way to say hello

I've heard this life is overrated but I hope that it gets better as we go

I'm here without you baby but you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl it's only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go

it gets hard but it won't take away my love

And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done

it get hard but it won't take away my love

I'm here without you baby but you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl it's only you and me

I'm here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby but you're still with me in my dreams

but tonight girl it's only you and me

And I'd give up forever to touch you

Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

Cause sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything feels like the movies

Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

It describes the way i feel and I'm feeling how you're feeling right now. That made no sense but whatever.

THAT'S MY FAVORITE SONG!

and it made perfect sense!

It's best not to want someone you can't have. People get hurt, you get hurt, lives get ruined.

Sure there is the perfect somebody out there for you who's looking for the perfect somebody (you) right now!

As true as that is, E-A, sometimes it's hard to let go, especially when the other person always allows there to be a glimmer of hope.

This isn't directly on the topic, but I love this song, and it's pretty close to what's being discussed. More like someone you used to have but don't anymore...

MOST OF THE TIME

by Bob Dylan

Most of the time

I'm clear focused all around,

Most of the time

I can keep both feet on the ground,

I can follow the path, I can read the signs,

Stay right with it, when the road unwinds,

I can handle whatever I stumble upon,

I don't even notice she's gone,

Most of the time.

Most of the time

It's well understood,

Most of the time

I wouldn't change it if I could,

I can't make it all match up, I can hold my own,

I can deal with the situation right down to the bone,

I can survive, I can endure

And I don't even think about her

Most of the time.

Most of the time

My head is on straight,

Most of the time

I'm strong enough not to hate.

I don't build up illusion 'till it makes me sick,

I ain't afraid of confusion no matter how thick

I can smile in the face of mankind.

Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine

Most of the time.

Most of the time

She ain't even in my mind,

I wouldn't know her if I saw her

She's that far behind.

Most of the time

I can't even be sure

If she was ever with me

Or if I was with her.

Most of the time

I'm halfway content,

Most of the time

I know exactly where I went,

I don't cheat on myself, I don't run and hide,

Hide from the feelings, that are buried inside,

I don't compromise and I don't pretend,

I don't even care if I ever see her again

Most of the time.
