Lyrics
What do you want now?
What do you want now?
What did you want then?
Do you want all the things you never had
That you wish you had seen?
What do you want now?
What did you want then?
Do you want all the things you never were
That you wish you had been?
Chorus
You can wait in the sublime
And let life pass you by
Or you can wallow in your sorrow
And you know your soul will die
And you know your soul will die
And when you?re pining for your life
And you?re pining for the moon
Looking for rivers of attention
And mountains of solitude
Well it?s getting late
It?s about time
You want to find out where you?re going or just make up your mind
It?s easy to think
It?s easy to stay
But when the walls fall down around you and you wish that you weren?t there
Chorus
What do you want now? X 3.
