Jackson Browne lyrics - My Problem Is You

album: I'm Alive (1993)
album: Rarities and Duets (1996)
album: Best of...Live/The Next Voice You Hear: Best Of JB (2003)
album: Best Of...Live (1996)
genre:

To love and get away before the walls have arisen
You've got to be free
But to go on attempting to break into the prison
You'ld have to be me
I wait for the sun to rise over the mountain
I wait for your touch
I wait for your angels to carry me home
But I wait too much
Waiting for you
I have no problem telling right from wrong
Fiction from what's true
No problem telling the dream from the dawn
My problem is you
Waiting here for you

I wanted to live in the realm of the senses
You've got to know how
And for some kinds of pleasure there are no defenses
I know that now
Our love is a crackling ladder of lightning
Our love is a fire
Our love is a wave moving deep in an ocean
Of need and desire
Waiting for you
I have no problem with this crooked world
I play the cards I drew
No problem with the changes life has hurled
My problem is you
Waiting here for you

I need your wonder and I need your light
I need your tender touch to heal the night
I need you laughing and I need you free
And I need to lock you away deep inside of me
Waiting for you

I have no problem telling right from wrong
The way some people do
I know exactly where these arms belong
My problem is you
Waiting here for you

And I don't worry about the ozone layer
Just let those rays come through
When I'm outside I keep my clothes on
My problem is you
Waiting here for you

And I don't worry about Madonna
Or the next thing she might do
And I don't worry about your mamma
My problem is you
Waiting here for you
