The Trouble Is

Looking for something
Don't they always say you'll know?
It's exactly what you want
Till everything you want outgrows you, owns you

It's the dry sunshine we ordered
Full of empty promise
It's the water under bridges
It's about time that we caught it, isn't it?

I know you wanted something better than this

I think the trouble is what you want
I think the trouble is just what gets you off
We're in the same America
Looking for some way to get it right
The things you think to yourself at night

Found you in the desert
Wallowing in purple rain
Got exactly what we wanted
Left it all to chase the pain more freely

It's a risky thing we started
When already broken-hearted
It's a lot of burning bridges
To trade in for all these hot air kisses, man

I think the trouble is what you want
I think the trouble is just what gets you off
We're in the same America
Looking for some way to get it right
The things you think to yourself at night

No promises, no apparitions
It's not a new religion, sing to myself
And though I've stayed through the collision
I wanna stay here in this silence for a while

I think the trouble is just what gets you off
We're in the same America
Looking for some way to get it right

I think the trouble is what you want
I think the trouble is just what gets you off
We're in the same America
Looking for some way to get it right
The things you think to yourself at night
