Play me a song

Play me a song

Sing your heart out

Expecting the sun

I got what I wanted and it wasn't enough

I got what I wanted when you showed up

I got what I wanted and it's never enough

I drove out to the white trash beach

On a brief vacation

I'd felt freer than I had in a long time

I wondered if it's cause you were gone

I got what I wanted when you showed up

I got what I wanted and it's wasn't enough

I got what I wanted when you showed up

I got what I wanted and it's never enough

Surfers protect the actors from flashers

Fathers and sons talk it out like brothers

The water doesn't sting as much in the summer

The waves can carry you home

To the girl with the shapes and another life

A freckled complexion and squinting eyes

You want so much to tell her but it feels like a lie

I got what I wanted and it's wasn't enough

I got what I wanted when you showed up

I got what I wanted and it's never enough..never enough

When you talk it makes me cringe

you want so bad to have meaning

But you're empty and draining

You're so 4th street

I can't take it

I know I shouldn't care

But you're life's intersecting where mine's disconnecting

But you're life's intersecting where mine's disconnecting

I got what I wanted when you showed up

I got what I wanted and it's wasn't enough

I got what I want when you showed up

I got what I wanted and it's never enough..never enough

That could be bad for u both
