Take It From Me
The LOVE Lyrics

Well I turned the key, rolled down the window, headed up that California highway till I ran out of gas
I embarked on a journey, hoping to find lasting happiness, but eventually ran out of energy and enthusiasm.

Searching high and low and all points in between for some kind of happiness that lasts
I explored every possible avenue and location in my pursuit of long-lasting happiness.

I've got the wind in my hair, a short attention span and a fire at my heels
I feel a sense of freedom and restlessness, fueled by my impulsive nature and a burning desire for change.

All I know is I'm tired of my past, wanna get up, get out, see how the future feels
I'm exhausted by my history and yearn to break free, to understand and experience what lies ahead.

What is it you want from me
I'm uncertain about the expectations or desires someone has for me.

I'm trying to lose a pack of miseries
I'm making an effort to rid myself of my burdens and sorrows.

I can't stick around and find out whether good times are going to find me
I don't have the patience to wait and see if happiness will come to me naturally.

Well I had a little girl who'd bring me rum and coke and crack my toes while I played my Sitar
I was in a relationship with a girl who took care of my needs and indulged in my interests.

I bought her closets full of shoes, high-end home electronics and a certified pre-owned Car
I showered her with material possessions, providing her with luxury items and even a car.

Then one day it was 'Stay with me, stay with me, stay with me', she'd become a greedy Curmudgeon
Suddenly, she changed her tune and demanded more commitment from me, transforming into a selfish and discontented person.

I couldn't think, I couldn't write, I couldn't understand why I couldn't get a damn thing Done
The unexpected change in my relationship left me feeling lost, unable to focus or accomplish anything.

Well a lot of people, mostly ex-girlfriends say I'm some sort of blind, self-centered fool
Many of my ex-girlfriends accuse me of being oblivious and selfish.

Throwing psychoanalytical catch phrases around just to accuse me of using them for my Pleasure like a tool
They claim I use psychological jargon as a means to manipulate and exploit others for my own satisfaction.

Well I don't know if that's right, I can't make the connection, doesn't seem to me like I've Done anything out of the ordinary or wrong
I'm unsure if their accusations hold any truth, as I fail to see how my actions have deviated from normal or morally acceptable behavior.

But if that's the way they feel I completely understand it's one of a million reasons why I Feel I gotta move on
Even if their perceptions are based on misunderstanding, I comprehend that it's just one of countless reasons why I believe it's necessary to move forward.

I seek shelter from my enemies
I actively search for protection and refuge from those who oppose or harm me.

I'm going to have a good time or die tryin'
I'm determined to either find joy and fulfillment or go to great lengths in pursuit of it, even if it means risking everything.

Hey, what is it you want from me
Hey, I'm still uncertain about the expectations or desires someone has for me.
