Wanting

I went down to the rocky shore
You were standing in the water
You were wanting more
I lost my footing when I jumped right in
To get to you, I had to swim

Once you learn how to swim
Your muscles remember everything
But once you learn how to say no
You have to practice every day

There are organs in my chest
And they keep pumping while I rest
You wanna see me at my best
Then you pull me under and you cause me stress

You don't learn how to breathe
Breathing happens naturally
And I didn't learn how to say
No, you can't just have it your own way all the time (way all the time)

Now I'm coming up for air
And I can see that you aren't there
You were standing on the sand
Reminded of the bigger plan

We've got an idea to fulfill
You make the distance greater still
But I've got a thirst for thrill
It is the worst, it's cursed, it's hard to kill

So I swallow the pill
Which makes the distance greater still
But I've got a thirst for thrill
If you don't it want it, it's certain that I will
