I'm on a mission to feel But someone else's steering the wheel This wagon jumps off the main track I'll be back But not soon enough I'll be all but forgotten Sharing our separate beds Mind set where the sun never sets We're not there, we're not halfway there I'm a drop in the ocean Love is what you want Just keep your eyes shut It might pass you by Love is what you want What makes a dream come true?
What makes a lie?
Love is what you want, is what you want Love is what you want, is what you want Love is what you want, is what you want Love is what you want Planning the perfect escape Trying to not make mistakes My ego get stuck in the way When I thought everything was okay You start foaming with hatred Waiting for three magic words Some easily overheard Have you heard I was almost there At the registry office Love is what you want Just keep your eyes shut It might pass you by Love is what you want What makes a dream come true?
What makes a lie?
Love is what you want, is what you want Love is what you want, is what you want Love is what you want, is what you want Love is what you want What is the one and only For how long can you leave a door open Its a cold comfort That we're equally lonely If you let me in Might work it out Love is what you want Just keep your eyes shut It might pass you by Love is what you want What makes a dream come true?
What makes a lie?

The lyrics to Peter Bjorn and John's Love Is What You Want explore the complexities of love and relationships. The singer appears to be in a state of confusion, feeling aimless and as if someone else is in control of his life's trajectory. He mentions sharing separate beds and having a mindset where the sun never sets, which could suggest a feeling of stagnation or distance in his relationship. However, despite these challenges, he acknowledges that love is ultimately what he wants, and encourages others to keep their eyes closed and let love come to them. The repeated question, "what makes a dream come true? What makes a lie?" could indicate a questioning of the singer's own desires and intentions regarding love.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of love as a driving force in life, and urges listeners to keep searching for it, even if it may pass them by. The second verse depicts the singer trying to escape his own pitfalls and mistakes, but being hindered by his own ego and the expectations of others. The line "it's a cold comfort that we're equally lonely" suggests a shared sense of isolation and longing, but the singer still holds onto the hope that love can be the solution to this loneliness.
Overall, Love Is What You Want is a reflective and contemplative song that explores the nuances of love and relationships, and encourages listeners to keep searching for love despite the challenges.

I'm on a mission to feel
I am purposely seeking experiences to feel emotions
But someone else's steering the wheel
I am not in control of my own life, someone else is making decisions for me
This wagon jumps off the main track
My life has taken a detour from the expected or planned path
I'll be back
I will return to my original path eventually
But not soon enough
The detour may last longer than expected
I'll be all but forgotten
Others may forget or not pay attention to my absence or change in direction
Sharing our separate beds
We are living together but not intimately
Mind set where the sun never sets
Our minds are in a place of constant darkness and negativity
We're not there, we're not halfway there
We are not making progress in our relationship or situation
I'm a drop in the ocean
I feel insignificant in the grand scheme of things
Love is what you want
The ultimate desire is to have love
Just keep your eyes shut
Sometimes it is better to not overthink and just let things happen naturally
It might pass you by
If you are not open to love, you could miss your chance
What makes a dream come true?
What is the key to achieving a desired outcome?
What makes a lie?
What causes falsehoods?
Planning the perfect escape
Trying to find a way out of a situation
Trying to not make mistakes
Attempting to avoid errors or missteps
My ego get stuck in the way
My pride and sense of self-importance is hindering progress
When I thought everything was okay
Assuming everything is fine when there are underlying issues
You start foaming with hatred
You are filled with intense anger or animosity
Waiting for three magic words
Hoping to hear the phrase 'I love you'
Some easily overheard
A phrase that is commonly spoken or not truly meaningful
Have you heard I was almost there
I was close to achieving a goal or milestone
At the registry office
At a place where important life events are documented, such as a marriage license
What is the one and only
What is the singular most important thing
For how long can you leave a door open
How much time can you give someone to make a decision or change before you must move on?
Its a cold comfort
It is a small consolation or comfort
That we're equally lonely
We are both feeling lonely, but it does not lessen the feeling
If you let me in
If you allow me to be a part of your life
Might work it out
We may be able to resolve our issues and find a way to be together

This song makes me feel as if I lived my greatest memories in life but has yet to happen. I see those memories being made in the future. When I get to live through those memories that I have visions about, I'll know recognize and live the moment.
@tugceblr7063
excellent
@yosekien-.-
Why you're not more famous? This band at least would have on this channel some 70.000 subs.
@baluan3585
Please, I prefer the band like this. so original
Some are getting more famous and they just only do popular music
@joepreetam1385
FranCow I agree
@renatojuniores
i ask myself the same question
@renatojuniores
@@baluan3585 underground syndrome?
@baluan3585
@@renatojuniores i dont mean that bands dont have rights to be more popular, as long as they dont forget who they are in the first place, who they're used to be. Some are just getting more famous and they just change their aim to selling products as many as posible without improving the quality.
