"Everybody Wants Something" lyrics - NATHANIEL RATELIFF

Breaking into the night, we were coming of age
We were just running around trying to be kids
Never want or need to be saved
We were waitin' to fall and just drift away
I was looking for an answer, I was trying to find a way

Was gettin' nowhere, life was taking its time
And I was staring out the window just wasting mine
And all I wanted was peace and calm
And somewhere to land that I could call my own
I was looking for something, I just don't know how to see it

[Chorus:]
Wait, is there ever time to figure it out?
Wait, is there ever time to figure it out?
Everybody wants something, they just don't know how to say it

All alone even in a crowd
And time wasn't missed as it slipped away
Every night I was scared and proud
Sittin' in a hotel trying to write a dream
I was trying to see the world for everything that it could be

[Chorus:]
Wait, is there ever time to figure it out?
Wait, is there ever time to figure it out?
Everybody wants something, they just don't know how to say it

[Bridge:]
Yeah, there's nothing but highways
And nothing but planes
I found myself sideways
Searching for answers and trying to make a change

[Outro:]
Everybody wants
Everybody wants
Everybody wants something
Everybody wants something
