If you’re telling me I’m not on fire 
You’re just preaching to the choir 
I’ve gotten dull as old barbed wire from living 
Last night I watched the evening news 
It was the same old nothing new 
It should have 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 a real something 
That moves me, that proves to me I’m still alive 
I wanna 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 telling 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 sixteen 
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
