In this song Robert sings about wanting everything he can get but he is keenly aware that time is finite and that actually what he really wants in more time to enjoy life and hope that things can get better instead of drowning himself in booze, drugs and meaningless sex.
Want Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm always wanting more, anything I haven't got
Everything, I want it all, I just can't stop
Planning all my days away but never finding ways to stay
Or ever feel enough today, tomorrow must be more
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Drink, more dreams, more bed, more drugs
More lust, more lies, more head, more love
Fear more fun, more pain, more flesh
More stars, more smiles, more fame, more sex
[Chorus]
But however hard I want
I know deep down inside
I'll never really get more hope
Or any more time
[Refrain]
Any more time
Any more time
Any more time
[Verse 2]
I want the sky to fall in, I want lightning and thunder
I want blood instead of rain, I want the world to make me wonder
I want to walk on water, take a trip to the moon
Oh, give me all this and give me it soon
[Pre-Chorus 2]
More drink, more dreams, more drugs
More lust, more lies, more love
[Chorus]
But however hard I want
I know deep down inside
I'll never really get more hope
Or any more time
[Refrain]
Any more time
Any more time
Any more time
