Something I Never Had

[Verse 1]
Smoke a cigarette with a coffee in the morning
And untangle my regret from all the love I've been avoiding
It'd be nice to be a part of something beautiful and simple
Every day, every night a sense of just belonging
To be told what's wrong and right
End this empty kind of longing
For a haven from the cold
Maybe one day I can learn to love as well

[Chorus]
I would sail across the water
I would swim across the seven seas
Just to know what it's like to come home every night
To something I never had

[Verse 2]
Wake up early, clean your room
Things my parents never taught me
Go for hikes, lunch at noon
Try enjoying something boring

It all seems very simple from the outside looking in
Like being happy isn't hard I guess it's something I should work on
'Cause every time I fucked it up I couldn't cope with the perfection
If I had everything I wanted I know I'd be the first to burn it down

[Chorus]
I would sail across the water
I would swim across the seven seas
Just to know what it's like to come home every night
To something I never had

[Verse 3]
I can't spend away my years getting old and getting lonely
Resurrecting all the ghosts of all the things the past has broken
It'd be nice to be a part of something beautiful and simple in the end

[Chorus]
I'ma sail across the water
I'ma swim across the seven seas
Just to know what it's like to come home every night
To something

I'ma sail across the water
I'ma swim across the seven seas
Just to know what it's like to come home every night
To something I never had
