Lyrics
What We Want
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can see you crawling
And I'm chasing on all fours
Wouldn't know what to do
To be perfectly honest
All the chemicals reel
In the absence of the noise
We are fools in the wake
Of the physical
I just don't know what I want
You just don't know what you want
Yeah, we don't know what we want
Just keep it trivial
I'm in love with the pace
I'm all that you never are
Throwing stones as we stay
Somewhere visible
Keeping it trivial
Just keep it trivial
I just don't know what I want
You just don't know what you want
Yeah, we don't know what we want
Just keep it trivial
Just keep it trivial
Just keep it trivial
And if you wake to find a weightlessness in me
Pulse and fire, break to breathe
Darling wait, hold and see
And if you leave it
Does that mean you would be free?
Just say anything to me
I just don't know what I want
You just don't know what you want
Yeah, we don't know what we want
Just keep it trivial
Just keep it trivial
Just keep it trivial
Just keep it trivial
Just keep it trivial
