RYAN STATES: Music & Lyrics
IN THE GAME
Have you ever gotten so close to having your dreams that you could taste it, and then having them torn away? Tired of sitting on the sidelines?
Your number’s the only one that I had
When I left my home with just a bus fare
A friend of a friend of a piano player
And at least one of us wants to be with you there
You may not be willing but certainly able
At little expense to you
At least as seen from my little window
My window without a view
DON’T YOU SEE DESIRE IN THE BOY
THAT JUST WANTS IN THE GAME?
DON’T YOU SEE DESIRE IN THE BOY
THAT JUST WANTS IN THE GAME?
DON’T YOU SEE DESIRE IN THE BOY
THAT JUST WANTS IN THE GAME?
I can’t believe what a friend I have made
Cause you’ve done everything to help me choose
Oh wouldn’t it be nice to have your talent
You’ve given so much but not a thing I can use
Somebody told me that you understood
What it’s like to go it all alone
Maybe you’re spread out too thin
How you kept my hopes up wish I never picked up that phone
DON’T YOU SEE DESIRE IN THE BOY
THAT JUST WANTS IN THE GAME?
DON’T YOU SEE DESIRE IN THE BOY
THAT JUST WANTS IN THE GAME?
DON’T YOU SEE DESIRE IN THE BOY
THAT JUST WANTS IN THE GAME?
Jeremy, you moved to the east coast
Your friends never understood what mattered to you the most
Oh I think I can comprehend
And I thought “it’s my turn”, but I wasn’t even close
It’s only one more key to the door
Oh at little expense to you
At least as seen from my little window
My window without a view
DON’T YOU SEE DESIRE IN THE BOY
THAT JUST WANTS IN THE GAME?
DON’T YOU SEE DESIRE IN THE BOY
THAT JUST WANTS IN THE GAME?
DON’T YOU SEE DESIRE IN THE BOY
THAT JUST WANTS IN THE GAME?
[guitar solo]
DON'T YOU SEE DESIRE IN THE BOY
THAT JUST WANTS IN THE GAME?
DON'T YOU SEE DESIRE IN THE BOY
THAT JUST WANTS IN THE GAME?
DO YOU SEE DESIRE IN THE BOY
THAT JUST WANTS IN THE GAME?
SEE DESIRE?
