Sometimes fly a little high,
Then you know better; dig yourself.
Sometimes get a little lost,
Then you know you got to find yourself.
Happens to everyone, and, Lord, I don't know why.

I want, I want.
I need, I need.
I want, I want to live;
To see it all;
Laugh; touch it all.

Sometimes we say silly things
And act like two little kids.
Like the tail wagging the dog,
We both get hurt by what was said.
That's okay; that's alright with me.
I'd rather fight with you than lay down and die.

I want, I want.
I need, I need.
I want, I want to live;
To see it all;
Laugh; touch it all.

I want, I want.
I need, I need.
I want, I want to live;
To see it all;
Laugh; touch it all.
To live, to see it all.
