I Want More
Suburban Legends Lyrics

Again we're stuck in gear
We are stagnant, unchanging, and not progressing.

And lost, but you don't care
We don't know where we're headed, but you are indifferent to that fact.

How can it be that we've agreed to start again
Despite our previous failures, we have both come to a consensus to give it another try.

Agreed that maybe this time it'll be the end
It is possible that this time it could be the conclusion of our union.

It's just a state of mind
Our present situation is only a reflection of our mindset.

And you are looking at the ground
You are focused on the negative and are unable to gaze towards the positive.

But it's not raining, look at the sky
You should be able to perceive the good things in life, even if it's not immediately apparent.

But it's hard when you're not looking very high
You are not looking towards a better quality of life, making it difficult to find positivity.

I wanted everything but this
I had high expectations for our relationship, but not what it's turning out to be.

When all I want is happiness
All I desire is pure joy and contentment in life.

Alone in life, Alone in love (I wanted more)
In the absence of love, I desired a better version of myself and life overall.

You show the side of you that's not
You reveal a part of yourself that is not genuinely who you are.

The side of you, you show a lot
You tend to display a side of you that may not be true to your character.

All I want is something else
I am searching for something more substantial than what you offer me.

To hold onto
I dream of finding something or someone to anchor my life to.

I sit here all alone
I sit quietly by myself with my thoughts and feelings.

Writing words to show
Penning down my thoughts to have a better understanding of where I stand emotionally.

The thoughts and feelings I have towards you
I have intense emotions concerning you, be it pleasant or otherwise.

Have we come this far just to figure out there's nothing new
Is this all the progress we have made to see that there is nothing novel or exciting in our relationship?

I used to fall apart
I was very emotional and reactive in the past.

And wait for that fire to spark
I longed for a flame to reignite the dead passion within our relationship.

But now it's over
Sadly, it seems that we have reached the end of our romantic journey.

I know I lost
I now realize that I alone, suffered the loss in this relationship.

It's just so easy to break
It's disheartening to think that everything we built could come crashing down so quickly.

I sit back and watch the sunset
Finding solitude in watching the sun go down.

Nothing else could ever calm me down
Watching the sunset is the only thing that brings me peace in my troubled life.

I write words of so sweet breath
Crafting words that flow with an artful harmony.

Composed to make your world go 'round
Writing words to uplift your soul and inspire your heart.

I like things that make me smile
For the most part, I enjoy anything that brings joy and happiness to my life.

Your personality can't give me that
Sadly, in our case, you are unable to bring laughter and cheer to my life.

And when you frown I think of why we'll
When I see you frown, I'm reminded of why our relationship is not working.

Never be the same
Sadly, it looks like we will not achieve the same level of closeness and love we once had.

It's not cool to play ska music
Many people consider playing ska music as uncool or unpopular.

I pulled the microphone from her lips and said, She told me I don't date guys in a band
She narrated to me that she refuses to date anyone who is in a band. So I grabbed the microphone and sang it out.

"I don't ever wanna be like this" And besides
She insisted that she did not want to be in a band or be with someone who is in a band.

Ska doesn't pay
Ska music may not provide significant financial rewards.

But I do it anyway
Despite its lack of monetary compensations, I still play ska music.

'Cause I wanted more than this
I wanted something more significant than the present reality.

Times are changing stop complaining
The times are evolving and require us to adapt instead of whining about it.

It's not the person you have left behind
The person you have grown apart from is not the same person they were before.

Maybe I'm someone else that you can live without
Perhaps, I have turned into a person you can do without in your life.
