Lyrics

Selfish

[Verse 1: Nick Jonas]

These are the days we dream about

Two lonely highs from different worlds, our heads in the clouds

You take the words right out my mouth

And take the part of you that's still running around

[Pre-Chorus: Joe Jonas]

Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go in the light

I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live in your life

I never wanna be the one that needs it all, but you know

Yeah, you know, yeah, you know

[Chorus: Nick Jonas & Joe Jonas]

I wanna be selfish, selfish

For you and not for me

I wanna be loveless, selfless

Want all of you for me

I wanna be the only thing you can't live without

Every day, every night, when you try to breathe

I wanna be selfish, selfish

Want all of you for me

[Verse 2: Nick Jonas]

We got a lot to write about

Your body is a work of art, I can't let it down

Whisper my name, say it louder

You're getting wings to fly again, I've never been down

[Pre-Chorus: Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas & Both]

Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go in the light (Don't let me go, baby)

I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live in your life (Live in your life)

I never wanna be the one that needs it all, but you know

Yeah, you know, yeah, you know

[Chorus: Nick Jonas & Joe Jonas]

I wanna be selfish, selfish

For you and not for me

I wanna be loveless, selfless

Want all of you for me

I wanna be the only thing you can't live without

Every day, every night, when you try to breathe

I wanna be selfish, selfish

Want all of you for me

[Bridge: Nick Jonas]

All of you for all of me (Selfish)

All of you for all of me (Selfish)

All of you for all of me (Selfish)

All of you, all of me

All of you for all of me (All of you for all of me, yeah)

All of you for all of me (All of you for all of me)

All of you for all of me (All of you for all of me)

All of you, all of me

[Chorus: Nick Jonas & Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas]

I wanna be selfish, selfish

For you and not for me (Not)

I wanna be loveless (Oh), selfless (Oh, woah)

Want all of you for me

I wanna be the only thing you can't live without

Every day, every night, when you try to breathe

I wanna be selfish (Hey, hey), selfish (Yeah)

Want all of you for me

[Outro: Nick Jonas]

These are the days we dream about
