If only I had known
I'd be running through the rocks
To get a little closer
I'd be sitting on the dock
Well I want you to be home
Where we can kick it we can toss
It hits a little different now
Since you've opened up your eyes
Yeah I was slow, I should've known
That's how it goes it's dark but I
Want it to be known
I want you to be my light
Yeah I want it to be known
That I want you to be home but
Yeah I was slow, I should've known
That's how it goes
Sometimes in life you can't
Get what you like
Found the fools gold
Yeah I saw it spark
I needed light, I was in the dark
No amount of money
Would keep my eyes from it
Then I grew old
Yeah I grew apart
From my perfect sight
Saw black and white
I was a shark with no love
Or no colour in my life
No colour in my life
So every day I roam
But can never seem to hitch a ride
Guess I'm alone, all on my own
So it's whatever if I just
Want to be home
Just want you to be beside
Yeah I want it to be known
That I want you to be home but
Yeah I was slow, I should've known
That's how it goes
Sometimes in life you can't
Get what you like
No
Sometimes in life you can't
Get what you like
No
