What We Wanted

Music and lyrics by J Stephen Roberts

 

What brought us here?

The choices we weighed each one

But looking back now

We always picked the same one

Is the path laid out before us?

Is it chemical?

Or is there a moment we heap ourselves with shackles?

 

Chorus:

Who we were we forget

And what we did we regret

We’re all finding out

What we wanted

Has locked all the doors behind us

 

Yes you could leave

And no one could find you

But forget the battles?

The scars will remind you

To reach back through all the haze of years

To that untried youth

And whisper the warning in his ear

Would it change his mind?

 

(Chorus)

 

And we’re afraid

And we’re not afraid

And we’re ready to let go

And we’re drawn away

But we turn away too slow

 

(Chorus)
