But in a language that you can't read just yet

I Will Possess Your Heart (Radio Single)

I won't let you let me down so easily
You gotta spend some time with me
You reject my advances and desperate pleas
You gotta spend some time with me
You gotta spend some time with me
I will possess your heart
And I know that you'll find love
It's like a book elegantly bound
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time with me
When we'll be lovers, lovers at last
I will possess your heart
Songwriters: Benjamin Gibbard, Nicholas Harmer, Jason Mcgerr, Christopher Walla
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time with me
But in a language that you can't read just yet
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time, love
I will possess your heart
I see my reflection as I slowly pass
I will possess your heart
And I know that you'll find love
Publishers: EMI BLACKWOOD MUSIC INC., GIANT BEAT SONGS, PLEASE PASS THE SONGS, SHOVE IT UP YOUR SONGS, WHERE I'M CALLING FROM MUSIC
And I know that you'll find love
How I wish you could see the potential
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
I will possess your heart
And I know that you'll find love
There are days when outside your window
You gotta spend some time with me
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
The potential of you and me
And I long for this mirrored perspective
I will possess your heart
So easily
And I know that you'll find love
You gotta spend some time, love
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
And I know that you'll find love
You gotta spend some time, love
And I know that you'll find love

Stalkerish or not. Still a great song.

I don't know, Emma. The lines "There are days when outside your window, I see my reflection as I slowly pass" have a definite stalker vibe to them. The song also tells us that the girl has already rejected the guy, but he still wants to "possess" her. I don't find that notion especially romantic, and I don't think we're meant to.

it really pisses me off when people say this is a song for stalkers. it's about how his confidence in his ability to make the girl of his dreams fall in love with him. get it together, people.

I love this version, pandora, will you marry me?

huh, I heard the radio version, youtube version, and the pandora version, and they were all the same. now the pandora version seems to lack vocals and I thought it was broken or something. Now I know this is the true version.

The first 4+ minutes is the best part of the song.
Thanks Pandora.

A true masterpiece of music. Songs like this make me wish Pandora radio had a "two thumbs up" button!

I can totally relate to the lyrics....

I'm very happy they kept the song how it was meant to be on here. =D

Mike Miller says:

04-01-2009

yes, much better than the radio-edit.. by far.

Jim Gater says:

Much better than the radio-edit. Thank you Pandora for keeping the full length version on here.

Yeah, the ~3 minute version of this song is INCREDIBLY lacking compared to the full version. Bunch of chickenshit bullshit.

this song is sweet!

When someone first told me this song was 8 minutes long, I thought, "How could they make this song that long?" but after hearing the original version, I'm thinking, "Why would anyone want this song to be shorter?"

makes me want love <3

Genette says:

Yes, Chux, indeed you do. :) The instrumental build-up is what makes this song great. In my humble opinion, of course.

Chux says:

11-05-2008

This songs cool, but a radio edit might be in order for Pandora. Do I really need the 7 minute instrumental slow growing buildup on this?????

I fell in love with this song when I heard them in concert (McCarren Park Pool, Brooklyn). DCFC always amazes me on how descriptive they can be with such few little words. Love it!
