Lyrics to Wanting

I went down to the rocky shore

You were standing in the water

You were wanting more

I lost my footing when I jumped right in

To get to you, I had to swim



Once you learn how to swim

Your muscles remember everything

But once you learn how to say no

You have to practice every day



There are organs in my chest

And they keep pumping while I rest

You wanna see me at my best

Then you pull me under and you cause me stress



You don't learn how to breathe

Breathing happens naturally

And I didn't learn how to say

No, you can't just have it your own way all the time (way all the time)



Now I'm coming up for air

And I can see that you aren't there

You were standing on the sand

Reminded of the bigger plan



We've got an idea to fulfill

You make the distance greater still

But I've got a thirst for thrill

It is the worst, it's cursed, it's hard to kill



So I swallow the pill

Which makes the distance greater still

But I've got a thirst for thrill

If you don't it want it, it's certain that I will
