Where You Want To Be

Hey there, stranger

Do you remember

You were a part of my life?

Early December

Think I remember

Sentiment cuts like a knife

The seasons are changing

Life's rearranging

Full of could have dones,

Would have beens

Its all your fault

And wherever you've been

And how time goes

And now I don't even know

How to fill in the spaces

Of the love you erased in my life

Are you where you wanted to be?

Did you get there easily?

Did it make you sacrifice?

Did you make a sharp left

When you should have turned right?

Are you where you wanted to be?

Did you sell off all of your gold?

Did you trade it in?

Did you wait for love

Or settled for somebody to hold?

And barely symphonic

But strangely ironic

Moments contained in one glance

Oh how I adored you

But now I'm ignored by you

Nowhere a tint of romance

And now its vaguely familiar

I think I remember sharing every single intimacy

It doesn't seem so strange to me that we barely entertained

Even the politest of phrases

But sometimes at night

I conjure you up in my mind

Are you where you wanted to be?

Did you get there easily?

Did it make you sacrifice

Did you make a sharp left

When you should've turned right?

Are you where you wanted to be?

Did you sell off all of your gold?

Did you trade it in?

Did you wait for love

Or settled for somebody to hold?

While I was busy

Perfecting the art

Of deflecting compliments

I took it too far

And I let a ripple run right through my heart

Of battle stations we're building

You and I just grew apart

We grew apart

While I decided

To make everyone else happy

I just put aside

My foolish pride

I guess I denied

My own desire

I was too busy pleasing

To ever be pleased

I forgot how to breathe

Or question anything

Or ask why?

Am I?

Am I where I wanted to be?

Did I get here easily?

Did I make a sacrifice?

Did I take a sharp left

When I should've turned right?

Am I where I wanted to be?

Can I sell of all of my gold?

Can I trade it in?

Will I wait for Love

Or settle for somebody to hold

I'd settle for somebody to hold now

You know that I've been up and I've been down

I've been picked up and spun around

I'd do it all again

If I could just have somebody to hold now

I just need somebody to hold now

Could somebody hold me now?

I just want somebody to hold me now
