What I Wanted
Is this all, all that I wanted
Have I found the place I belong in
My feet are on the street and the air is mine to breathe but this just doesn't feel like I wanted
Is this all, all that I wanted
Why am I stuck feeling so haunted
My life is on a track and there seems no going back but this just doesn't feel like I wanted
Faces blank as they push past my shoulder
All it seems they can see is a person undercover
When my dreams seem to crumble from deep down under
Is this really the life that I wanted
Oh this really the life that I wanted
Thought by now I'd feel really proud
Paper slides as they hand me the pen
But something makes me doubt what this is all about
But how can I judge when I'm here now
I try to make it alright good old days seem to wave from behind
I should be in my prime but it all feels like a lie oh could I be out of my mind
Faces blank as they push past my shoulder
All it seems they can see is a person undercover
When my dreams seem to crumble from deep down under
Is this really the life that I wanted
Oh this really the life that I wanted
Where are the friends, where is the joy, where are the feelings of you made it oh boy
Where did time do, where has this led, why was it so so so different in my head
Where are the friends, where is the joy, where are the feelings of you made it oh boy
Where did time do, where has this led, why was it so so so different in my head
Faces blank as they push past my shoulder
All it seems they can see is a person undercover
When my dreams seem to crumble from deep down under
Is this really the life that I wanted
Oh this really the life that I wanted
Have I found the place I belong in
My feet are on the street and the air is mine to breathe but this just doesn't feel like I wanted
Is this all, all that I wanted
Why am I stuck feeling so haunted
My life is on a track and there seems no going back but this just doesn't feel like I wanted
Faces blank as they push past my shoulder
All it seems they can see is a person undercover
When my dreams seem to crumble from deep down under
Is this really the life that I wanted
Oh this really the life that I wanted
Thought by now I'd feel really proud
Paper slides as they hand me the pen
But something makes me doubt what this is all about
But how can I judge when I'm here now
I try to make it alright good old days seem to wave from behind
I should be in my prime but it all feels like a lie oh could I be out of my mind
Faces blank as they push past my shoulder
All it seems they can see is a person undercover
When my dreams seem to crumble from deep down under
Is this really the life that I wanted
Oh this really the life that I wanted
Where are the friends, where is the joy, where are the feelings of you made it oh boy
Where did time do, where has this led, why was it so so so different in my head
Where are the friends, where is the joy, where are the feelings of you made it oh boy
Where did time do, where has this led, why was it so so so different in my head
Faces blank as they push past my shoulder
All it seems they can see is a person undercover
When my dreams seem to crumble from deep down under
Is this really the life that I wanted
Oh this really the life that I wanted
