What I wanted
When i was a young , a man asked what i wanted in my house
i said i wanted a TV so big when i watch a movie its like watching a tennis match
I wanted a couch so big it takes me a week to get to the other end.
i said i wanted a bed so enourmous i have to swim out of it in the morning
i wanted a shower that would adapt to my mood and never run out of hot water
i said i wanted surround sound so what i listen to , the whole neighborhood listens to
i wanted wifi that would follow me
and finally i said i wanted a fridge that was always full
after years of hard work , i got all that , but i feel like the biggest fool ever
because you see what i know now is what i shouldve known then
I didnt want a big screen TV i wanted my life to be like a movie
i didnt want an enourmous couch I just always wanted room for company
and this bed im no longer swimming out of it , im drowning in it becuase there is no reason to leave it
and i wish this showe would was away my sins but it just temperarily relieves my pain
i said i wanted surround sound but what i really wanted to hear was the pitter patter of tiny feet , yelling dad lets play hide n seek
and i wanted wifi to follow me but what i really wanted was just to feel connected
and finally this fridge that is always full, i just wanted a woman whose love would never let me feel empty.
because what i know now is what i wish i knew then
i was chasing a dream and losing reality
and now its just me
just me
