Lyrics

I Wanna Be There

I wanna be there when you arrive

I wanna see her, I'll shred her eyes

I wanna be here when you defy

I wanna see it with my own eyes

And if you want to leave me fraying

I don't know what I'd do with myself

On the day I see you coming

I don't know what I'll do with myself

I don't like your sense of fun

I'll be laughing, I'll watch you run

I don't like your sense of fun

I'll be laughing, I'll watch you run, run, run

I wanna be there

I wanna be there

Oh, I wanna be there

I wanna be there

Oh, I wanna be there

I wanna be there

I wanna be there

I'm gonna be there

I wanna be there

I wanna be there

I wanna be there

I'm gonna be there

Be there

I'm gonna be there
