They never turn off, my thoughts of you
I could stare at the mountain for hours
And still not catch the view
If it becomes quiet you'll know I'm gone
Just throw a flower in the ground for my silenced thoughts
And maybe that's what you want
What you want
To live your life without my
Incessant love
You gave up quitting 'cause it was too hard
Err on the side of danger, 'cause it's more fun
And maybe that's what you want
What you want
To feel alive while you are
Still young
If I had a dollar, I would give it right up
To fund all your vices you could never get enough
Give away my fortune and let you hide
Smoking your pipe and getting real high
And maybe that's what I want
What I want
For you to have a life full of
What you want
Maybe that's what I want
What I want
For you to have
What you want

What I Want

Feeling warm in the chest and confused all over again, again.
My heart so swollen that it throbs and aches and it stays that way all day.
It stays in me long after you’ve gone. Call it leaving your mark, call it whatever you want.
But I want some painkillers to swim around my blood and turn all the hurt off.
That’s what I want, that’s what I want.
Spin me around I’m one of the records you love to play
And damn you play
I’ll sing for you like it doesn’t make me crazy
I’ll stay
I’ll stay long after you’ve gone
Call it missing the mark
Call it whatever you want
But I want some painkillers
To swim around my blood
And turn all the hurt off
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
That’s what I want

I only want it ‘cause it’s what you have. If you had failed I’d come in last.
I only want it ‘cause it’s what you have.
I hope I ruin rock for you. When you wonder what you put me through,
think of how I watched you from the stage.
I sang until my lungs gave out that you were all I cared about and you just turned away.
Ran until I was lost, so I can’t go back. Right by your castle I’ll build mine in the sand.
I can’t go back, I can’t go back. And I only want it ‘cause it’s what you have.
I hope I ruin rock for you. When you wonder what you put me through,
think of how I watched you from the stage.
I sang until my lungs gave out that you were all I cared about and you just turned away.
I only want it ‘cause it’s what you have. You drive off a cliff and I’ll join in the crash.
I only want it ‘cause it’s what you have. I only want it ‘cause it’s what you have

Will I always want more than what I have?
How can I settle for half full when I want an overflowing glass?
Aren’t you dying to get what’s coming next?
How do you stay for good when you only stopped to rest?
It’d be a beautiful life if only I could see
Anything other than who’s not in front of me
Endless wishes in a bottle, I’d still wanna leave
It’s not what you are, it’s who you’re not, baby
I will always want more than what I have
How could I settle for half full when I want an overflowing glass?
Guess I shoulda told you ‘bout my past
I could never stay for good, I only stopped to rest
Now that you hate me I’ll tell you the whole damn thing
From the minute I met you it was all part of a scheme
It was a freezing cold winter, I was waiting for the spring
To let you go so I could chase my stupid dreams
I will always want more than what I have
I could never settle for half full I need an overflowing glass
I can’t stop myself from thinking like that
I know what I want and it’s not what I have
I know what I want and it’s not what I have
I know what I want and it’s not what I have
