Something I Never Had

Smoke a cigarette with a coffee in the mornin'

And untangle my regret from all the love I've been avoiding

It'd be nice to be a part of somethin' beautiful and simple

Every day, every night a sense of just belonging

To be told what's wrong and right

End this empty kind of longing

For a haven from the cold

Maybe one day I can learn to love as well

I would sail across the water

I would swim across the seven seas

Just to know what it's like to come home every night

To something I never had

Wake up early, clean your room

Things my parents never taught me

Go for hikes, lunch at noon

Try enjoying something boring

It all seems very simple from the outside looking in

Like being happy isn't hard, I guess it's somethin' I should work on

'Cause every time I fucked it up, I couldn't cope with the perfection

If I had everything I wanted, I know I'd be the first to burn it down

I would sail across the water

I would swim across the seven seas

Just to know what it's like to come home every night

To something I never had

I can't spend away my years getting old and getting lonely

Resurrecting all the ghosts of all the things the past has broken

It'd be nice to be a part of something beautiful and simple in the end

I'ma sail across the water

I'ma swim across the seven seas

Just to know what it's like to come home every night

To something

I'ma sail across the water

I'ma swim across the seven seas

Just to know what it's like to come home every night

To something I never had
