i wanted to write a song called cosmic i wanted to get a view of the earth i wanted to be a lonesome cowboy i wanted to love you till it hurt i wanted the right to misbehave to satiate my crave i put these things aside for years till laughter took the place of tears it s like i was asleep yet 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 until laughter took the place of tears it s like i was asleep yet 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 the end to all of my destruction i wanted to re know what i was worth but wasn t it just my choice to make the bed in which i lay i put these things aside for years until laughter took the place of tears it s like i was asleep yet now i m here i m here i m here
