    I Want To Know


    Take one good look in my eyes and tell me what you see
    Is it me six years ago, all starry eyed barely past eighteen?
    Or can you see what comes next, have you peeked at some god’s mystic plans?
    Or do you just see me now, an often lonely sometimes confused man.

    I never make mistakes I don’t want to
    But I often stare into the sun

    Would someone show me please
    How I can get off my knees
    Wishing for what I can’t have
    Because it’s never good enough
    I can’t see clear enough
    She’s never really what I want
    So if you know what I want
    I want to know

    A good talk is long overdue sometimes I still miss your voice
    I want to hear about your life, if you regret making your choice
    I don’t say that to be cruel, but I wonder every day
    If you wish things were different now, but that’s against the rules to say

    I never make mistakes I don’t want to
    But I often push my friends away

    Would someone show me please
    How I can get off my knees
    Wishing for what I can’t have
    Because it’s never good enough
    I can’t see clear enough
    She’s never really what I want
    So if you know what I want
    I want to know
