I wanted to write a song called cosmic
I wanted to get a view of the earth
I wanted to be your lonesome cowboy
I wanted to love you till it hurt

I wanted the right to misbehave
To say she ain't my crave

I put these things aside for years
Till laughter took the place of tears
Its like I was asleep
And now I'm here
I'm here

I wanted to take your place just sometimes
To know the things you know
And why you did the things you do
To say no one time and believe it
Oh I wanted so much
But only needed you

Wasn't it just my choice to make
The bed in which I lay

I put these things aside for years
Till laughter took the place of tears
Its like I was asleep
And now I'm here
I'm here

I wanted to be able
To talk without the interruption
I wanted to sing exotic words
I wanted to find a way
To put an end to all of my destruction
Wanted to know what I was worth

Wasn't it just my choice to make
The bed in which I lay

I put these things aside for years
Till laughter took the place of tears
Its like I was asleep
And now I'm here
I'm here
I'm here
