Wants / Needs

With headphones on, the streets are silenced
Cars hum along to disrupt the quiet
You learn a lot about a place
When you see it without a sun
As you search for a shred of innocence, but realize there is none

The open gutters, collecting water
The unbreathable air, we're all aware
You learn a lot about a place
When you see it for what it is
It loses its feel of mystery and any hope that it can
Give me a reason not to just start screaming out loud

You can't convince me
What I want and what I need are separate things

All those distractions they'll beg us to stay
We'll give new meaning to running away
All those distractions they'll beg us to stay
We'll give new meaning to running away
