The Next Time I See You (What I Want) Lyrics by Alex Touzet

2022

Haven't been sleeping right for months gone by
My head's exploding by the nighttime, each time I close my eyes
I feel like I
Can't keep buying
This shit
[Instrumental]
I mostly write about how I can't
Can't write songs, can't find a band
So I've been wasting away at home instead for all this time
Can't express it when I try to talk
I've got this fear that maybe I'm not
Worth these things I want, but still, I want, I want, I want, oh
You to care, I mean
You've seen how bad it gets
That's why it hurts so much that you don't
I'm better now, I guess, but still not what I want
[Instrumental]
But this is how it goes:
You kiss girls that you don't love
In hopes you will (I'm sure you will, I'm sure you will, I'm sure you will, I'm sure)
You'll do it all again
It's a matter of when
Hе writes you back, you make mistakes, and you allow your hеart to break
[Instrumental]
There's something weird about reminding lights that I'm still here
I wind myself back up when I'm alone, I can't trust all the time I kill
Watch it crashing down
Every shitty thing I've done
Come hold these hands, come touch this face
Let me forget the things I want
[Instrumental]
Well
I don't know
Which of my cards to show or how to play this game
(This can't be it, this can't be it, this can't be it, this can't be)
So the bed remains unmade
I can't think of what to say
Will you even talk to me? I keep yelling out your name
Nothing happens, it's all the same
The next time I see you, nothing will have changed
I keep wanting to change my name
Throw yourself
Into your work, into your songs
Until a stranger comes along, tells you that you are what they want
If they read it right, they'll understand these things you say;
They'll hold your hands, they'll touch your face
The clock shatters - time breaks
All the mornings I could have
Woken up to you, well
I'm better off not sleeping next to someone I don't know how to talk to
What if who I want to be isn't compatible with me
So I can't do shit?
[Instrumental]
The volume isn't high enough
The bass is way too loud
The drums are missing from the tracks
The guitar's strung, but has no sound
I'm on my back, you're up above
I close my eyes and you are gone
The pitch is broke, the strings are shit!
So did you get that love you want?
All you good time friends know just what you want
[Instrumental]
God, I want it like hell
I want to be someone else
I want to be someone else
