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 ’til it hurt
I wanted the right to misbehave To satiate my crave
I put these things aside for years ‘Til 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 ‘Til 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 an end to all of my destruction I wanted to 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 ‘Til laughter took the place of tears It’s like I was asleep yet now I’m here (it’s cosmic), I’m here, I’m here (It’s cosmic)
