When I was a boy
I could not stand the silence
I needed the noise
I was underage and overjoyed
Changing my ways
But there's so many ways to change
I'm growing up
I'm getting wise I'm getting strange
All I was looking for was you
All I was looking for was you
I ran my ship into the ground
Chasing some high and lonesome sound
From Venice Beach to Kathmandu
My money's gone my time it flew
All I was looking for was you
(All this time) (x2)
Some marry for love
Some marry for money
Dollars and cents
Through open arms and barbed wire fence
Running away
From everything that looks like me
I heard a voice
I saw your face, it set me free
All I was looking for was you
All I was looking for was you
The endless highways I road down
The girls I kissed in every town
Midnight on heartbreak avenue
All twisted up on bitches brew
All I was looking for was you
Running away
From everything that looks like me
I heard a voice
I saw your face, it set me free
All I was looking for was you
All I was looking for was you
The endless highways I road down
The girls I kissed in every town
Midnight on heartbreak avenue
All twisted up on bitches brew
All I was looking for was you
(All this time)
I learned the words I sang the song
Then I got lost in Babylon
I ran my ship into the ground
Chasing some high and lonesome sound
The lies I told you kept them through
Nobody knows me like you do
All I was looking for was you
