lyrics

i'm surfing the static
and trying to find a signal
the wind's at my back
but my feet are stuck in the middle

i'm aching for somewhere to go
i'm aching for someone
mistaking what's out my window
for my destination

and you want to have it all
you told me that you want to have it all
but i don't know what that means
i don't know what it means for me

i'm running the numbers
and trying to make it make sense
but it gets complicated when i
i look past the present tense

awake in the night
and it's almost bearable
that she is the constant and i
i am the variable

baby you just want to have it all
you don't have to choose
if you can have it all
it's the contrast that you love
the shadow helps you see the light

going my way...
are you going my way?

and you want to have it all
doesn't everybody want to have it all?
in the currents that run deep
it pulls me in and steals my sleep
