I Used To Want

I used to want to be skinny

More than I wanted a sharp mind

I used to want to stay younger

More than I wanted the wisdom of time

I used to want to feel busy

More than I wanted my life in my hand

I used to want to be wanted

More than I wanted to be who I am

Oh but life gets hard, and enough goes wrong

And you see the hills you're dying on

Oh I wish it didn't take so long to start living

I used to want to be winning

More than I wanted whatever I want

I used to want to look pretty

More than I wanted to dance and have fun

I used to want to feel better

More than I wanted to know how I feel

I used to want to sound clever

More than I wanted to say what's real

Oh but life gets hard, and enough goes wrong

And you see the hills you're dying on

Oh I wish it didn't take so long to start living

Oh but it's alright, honey, hope's not lost

You can make back more than what it cost

I just wish it didn't take so long to start living

Oh living

Oh living

Oh living

Oh living

Oh living

Oh living

Oh living

Oh living
