Lyrics

Get What I Need

[Verse 1]

It was thirty years ago since we smashed the window

Of that northern California house

A safety pin in my ear on Cayton's bike

Playin' Bad Brains fuckin' loud

Smokin' weed on the streets in the California heat

Spraypaint on the walls

Stealin' booze, cracked a tooth, we had nothin' else to lose

Gettin' wasted to twist and crawl

[Chorus]

Someday, you'll find everything'll be alright

I lost myself just to get what I want again

Lost myself just to get what I want again

Someday, you'll see everything I left behind

I lost myself just to get what I want again

Lost myself just to get, to get what I need

To get what I need

[Verse 2]

Fade away in my head again

Watch the days, the months, the years turn to rust

Skies are gray, and will I be okay?

Watch the memories I made turn to dust

[Chorus]

Someday, you'll find everything'll be alright

I lost myself just to get what I want again

Lost myself just to get what I want again

Someday, you'll see everything I left behind

I lost myself just to get what I want again

Lost myself just to get, to get what I need

[Bridge]

Sometimes, to get what I want, don't get what I need

To get what I want, I don't get what I need

To get what I want, don't get what I need

To get what I want, I don't get what I need

[Chorus]

Someday, you'll find everything'll be alright

I lost myself just to get what I want again

Lost myself just to get what I want again

Someday, you'll see everything I left behind

I lost myself just to get what I want again

Lost myself just to get, to get what I need

[Outro]

To get what I need

To get what I need

To get what I need

To get what I need
