[Verse 1]
Standing in the shade of a childhood tree
I'd be up in those branches but they won't hold me
Grandma's backyard seemed bigger back then
Making me wish I was little again
[Pre-Chorus]
Driving through familiar streets
Peace of mind still out of reach
[Chorus]
Oh, I ain't even close
To what I thought I'd know
I've been chasing ghosts
But I just wound up haunted
Got everything I wanted
Now I don't want it
So I try to find the start again
Sort through all the me's I've been
Did I leave 'em with my friends
On the road to satisfaction?
Thinking I'll be happy when those flowers bloom
While I'm staring out the window
Forgetting I'm still standing in the room
[Verse 2]
Hanging on the wall are thе things that I've done
All the mountain-top momеnts
All the trophies I've won
But nothing in a frame's gonna make me whole
Just man-made prizes for a man-made goal
[Chorus]
Oh, I ain't even close
To what I thought I'd know
I've been chasing ghosts
But I just wound up haunted
Got everything I wanted
Now I don't want it
So I try to find the start again
Sort through all the me's I've been
Did I leave 'em with my friends
On this road to satisfaction?
Thinking I'll be happy when those flowers bloom
While I'm staring out the window
Forgetting I'm still standing in the room
[Bridge]
And maybe I'll be satisfied with the next one
The next relationship, the next award
The next opportunity, the next home
And maybe then, all of this wanting will want to leave me alone
And I won't find it wherever I go
'Cause I'm losing myself as I try and cross the next door
My eyes find the window, my knees find the floor
I realize wanting never becomes having
It just becomes wanting more
'Cause this world is full of windows
And their glass full of lies
They promise contentment in all you haven't tried
Happiness found in what you have and consume
Do not live for these windows
Learn to be content in your room
[Outro]
When my back's all bent and my hair turns grey
If I'm lucky enough to see that day
Will I feel content or will I still want more?
Or will I have built a life worth dying for?
