Story Behind The Song
This song was about someone who I thought I was in love with but I realized as time went on that I wasn't. It also addresses the on and off again fiasco that so many people deal with. Ultimately I moved on before she did and the song also expresses that in the second verse.
Song Description
Wants It deals with the frustrations of on again off again love, and rejection. It's a song about desire - or rather, lack of desire.

Lyrics
Wants It
She said she wants it
just not from me
you can take it out
on the street
then when you fall down
I'd have to leave
you don't think you know me
we finally agree
CHORUS
she said she wants it
just not from me
I feel the air between us tighten up and freeze
VERSE 2
I know you'll take it
so casually
your grace and pretty face no effect on me
you'll leave without your clothes and walk with what you know
it's enough to be afraid unwillingly
CHORUS 2
she said she wants it
just not from me
I feel the air between us tighten up and freeze
I wish I'd forgotten what I believe
you can try and try but I won't concede
You won't go and I won't leave
You won't go
You won't go and I won't
ever ever leave
