Where You Want To Be
Hey there stranger - do you remember? You were a part of my life
Early December - think I remember ... sentiment cuts like a knife
The seasons are changing; life's re-arranging; full of good times
Would have beens; it's all your fault and where've you been
And how time goes and how I don't even know how to fill in the spaces
And the love you've erased in my life
Are you where you wanted to be? Did you get there easily?
Did I make you sacrifice? Did you make a sharp left when you should have turned right?
Are you where you wanted to be? Did you sell off all your gold?
Did you trade it in? Did you wait for love or settle for somebody to hold?
And barely symphonic, but strangely ironic; moments contained in one glance
Oh how I adored you but now I'm ignored by you; nowhere a tint of romance
And now it's vaguely familiar - I think I remember sharing every single intimacy
It doesn't seem so strange to me that we barely entertain even the politest of phrases
But sometimes at night I conjure you up in my mind
Are you where you wanted to be? Did you get there easily?
Did I make you sacrifice? Did you make a sharp left when you should have turned right?
Are you where you wanted to be? Did you sell off all your gold?
Did you trade it in? Did you wait for love or settle for somebody to hold?
While I was busy perfecting the art of deflecting compliments I took it too far
And let a rip run right through my heart
Of battle stations we're building; you and I just grew apart; we grew apart
While I decided to make everyone else happy
I just put aside my foolish pride
I guess I denied my own desire
I was too busy pleasing everybody please
I forgot how to breathe or question anything
Or ask why? Am I?
Am I where I wanted to be? Did I get here easily?
Did I make a sacrifice? Did I take a sharp left when I should have turned right?
Am I where I wanted to be? Can I sell off all my gold?
Can I trade it in? Will I wait for love or settle for somebody to hold?
I'd settle for somebody to hold now
You know that I will never let you down
Up and spun around
I'd do it all again
If I could just have somebody to hold now
Just need somebody to hold now
Could somebody hold me now?
Just want somebody to hold me now
I'd do it all again
