Ryan Bergman - I Wanted More Lyrics

Behind the counter is where I found her
Making round seven.25 per hour
At the table, fresh out of the womb
There I stared at the woman 'cross the room

She stood so tall, I felt so small
But still I wondered if she'd ever like to call
But I made my mind up when she reached up from the drawer
I wanted more, I wanted more

What's your favorite color? What's your favorite place? Who are your friends
Have you ever been in love and would you like to be again
One day outside by the bandstand
Remember when I asked to be your man

I held her hand, the camera panned
Every moment of our life would soon be planned
For all these years in such a small town I survived
She could have been here my whole life

Life is fast and you are young, don't waste it
Time to live is really oh so few
I held her hand, the camera panned
Showed the empty pictured wall

I made my mind up where her bedroom met the door
I wanted more, I wanted more
I have to move away, it wasn't meant to be, we must be apart
It isn't you, it's me and I am sorry for breaking your heart
In fact, I feel so sick to be here
There must be something bigger I can be near

I went to the city, God was it pretty
On every L track sign stamped clearly, what a pity that
To get from hell to here was simply one short drive
I could have been here my whole life

Life is fast and you are young, don't waste it
Time to live is really oh so few
I went to the city, God was it pretty
But once I was there it felt so small

I made my mind up where the city met the shore
I wanted more, I wanted more
I wanted more, I wanted more

Life is fast and you are young, don't waste it
Life is fast and you are young, don't waste it
Life is fast and you are young, don't waste it
Life is fast and you are young, don't waste it
Time to live is really oh so few
I wanted more
I wanted more

But please just know that when my breathing starts to fall
I wanted it all
I wanted it all
I want it all

I want it all
