I Wanna Feel Something

If you're telling me I'm not on fire

You're just preaching to the choir

I've gotten dull as old barb wire from living

Last night I watched the evening news, it was the same ol', nothing new

It shoulda cut me right in two, but it didn't

I don't know why it didn't

But I wanna feel something

Something that's real

Something that moves me, that proves to me I'm still alive

I want a heart that beats and bleeds

A heart that's busting at the seams

I wanna care, I wanna cry, I wanna scream

I just wanna feel something

If you're tellin' me that's just how it is, I don't buy it

'Cause once I was kissed by a red headed girl with cherry lips

On her porch when I was 16

And I felt it somewhere in my soul, and time stood still and I couldn't let go

I can't tell you 'cause I don't know how I got so cold

When did I get so cold?

I just wanna feel something

Something that's real

Something that moves me, that proves to me I'm still alive

Run my fingers through your fingers, across your face and through your hair

And close my eyes and breathe you in like air

I just wanna feel something

I hate that I'm jaded, and I make you cry

But still you stick around me, only God knows why

Damn it all to hell, I'm done

'Cause I don't like what I've become

So come here, baby

Come here, baby

I just wanna feel something

Something that's real

Something that moves me, that proves to me I'm still alive

Run my fingers through your fingers, across your face and through your hair

And close my eyes and breathe you in like air

I just wanna feel something

Come here, baby
