When You Want Something
Josh Caterer
(verse 1)
Oh the night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
And every day takes you farther away
From the one to whom your longing heart belongs
So you crawl into the songs
And hope to find her there
(chorus)
When you want something
That you know you'll never have
And that wanting is what's keeping you alive
When you lose someone
That you never really had
And that losing feels like what it means to die
(verse 2)
Oh the winds grow colder
And suddenly you're older
Than that little girl, wide-eyed in a wicked world
Do you dare to think the promise of your love
Is the land that she heard of
In a lullaby, where the bluebirds fly
