Edgar - All the Things I Never Wanted Lyrics

I can't stop myself from thinking
About what the boys had to say
And I feel now, in a strange way
Like I could never be your Lana Rey
But I never wanted to, anyway
Give them the time of day

I never wanted to be someone
Or something I'm really not
I never wanted to grow out of
My shirt, my hair or my flowerpot

And so now, without blinking
I keep on wondering in thinking
And gathering my thoughts
'Cause really, what are the odds
Of the Queen bowing to the Lords?

No, any of these I can't envision
I don't know - am I making the right decision?

I never wanted to
Have to escape to solitude
Just to think and be able to drink and
Write my rhymes
But now it happens all the time
As do all these things I never wanted
They stole me and left my Earth salted

Call it what you will and want
Misfortune or a song
That never leaves my heavy ears alone
It's like breathing air as light as stone

Oh no, perhaps it's hopeless
Oh, perhaps - perhaps I'm hopeless
