In “Want,” Cody confesses to a lover that their relationship isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. He wants to slow it down, or maybe even end it, before someone winds up heartbroken.
[Verse 1]
It's like driving with the headlights out
Going too fast and we can't slow down
Drinking 'cause we know it's wrong
Drinking 'till it's right, yeah
It's like driving with the headlights out
[Pre-Chorus]
So cordial, so stable
So sure, but so confused
Too selfish, too lonely
Too hard to face the truth
I gotta say
[Chorus]
Before the damage is done
Before you take what you want
Before I take too long
This isn't what I really want
Before the damage is done
Before you're calling it love
Before I break your heart
This isn't what I really want
Want, want, want
This isn't what I really want
[Verse 2]
It's like swimming with a 10-ton weight
Start to struggle, but you know your fate
There's no need to kill the lights
It's obvious you're blind
Well, I guess I found another way to lie
[Pre-Chorus]
So cordial, so stable
So sure, but so confused
Too selfish, too lonely
Too hard to face the truth
I gotta say
[Chorus]
Before the damage is done
Before you take what you want
Before I take too long
This isn't what I really want
Before the damage is done
Before you're calling it love
Before I break your heart
This isn't what I really want
Want, want, want
This isn't what I really want
Want, want, want
This isn't what I really want
(This isn't what I really want)
[Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
So cordial, so stable
So sure, but so confused
Too selfish, too lonely
But I, but I can't commit to you
Ooh, ooh
No, no, no, this isn't what I really want
[Chorus]
I gotta say
Before the damage is done
Before you take what you want
Before I take too long
This isn't what I really want
Before the damage is done
Before you're calling it love
Before I break your heart
This isn't what I really want
Want, want, want
This isn't what I really want
Before the damage is done
Before you're calling it love
Before I break your heart
This isn't what I really want
