I wanted to write a song called Cosmic
I wanted to get a view
of the earth
I wanted to be your lonesome cowboy
I wanted to love you till it hurt
I wanted the right
to misbehave, to satiate my crave
I put these things aside for years
Till laughter took the place of tears
It's like I was asleep,
yet now I'm here
I wanted to take your place just sometimes
To know the things you know and why you did
the things you do To say no one time,
can't believe it
Oh, I wanted so much but only needed you
Wasn't it just my choice to make the bed in which I lay?
I put these things
aside for years
Till laughter took the place of tears
It's like I was asleep,
yet now
I'm here I'm here
I'm here I wanted to be able
to talk without the interruption
I wanted to sing exotic words I wanted
to find a way to put an end to all
of my destruction Wanted to know where I was when
Wasn't it just my choice to make the bed in which I lay?
I put these things aside for
years
Till laughter took the place of tears
It's like I was asleep,
yet now I'm here I'm here
