If I Need To Lyrics by Cate

Love, the Madness

2020

[Verse 1]
Everyone from my hometown’s married now
And if they’re not, they’re just waiting for a chance to settle down
And Wyatt still sells weed from his parents’ basement
But the high is not as good now that our lives are complicated
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wish I could be happy, playing safe and playing nice
I wish I could be happy with what I know
[Chorus]
'Cause I don’t feel at home
But I want to
I really want to
I don’t feel at home
But I don’t need to
I just need to
Live a little, make a mess
Know it’s fine to be a wreck
And if I need to, come back home
[Verse 2]
When I was five I had a thing for danger
Thought that when I grew up I’d be a sick-ass power-ranger
I’m still young but now I’m scared of failing
Tell me when did we get jaded and stop thinking we could be famous
[Chorus]
'Cause I don’t feel at home
But I want to
I really want to
I don’t feel at home
But I don’t need to
I just need to
Live a little, make a mess
Know it’s fine to be a wreck
And if I need to, come back home
[Bridge]
I refuse to be complacent
I don’t want to go through the ages
Wishing I was someone else
Someone who is brave and chainless
[Chorus]
'Cause I don’t feel at home
But I don’t want to
I don’t want to
I don’t feel at home
But I don’t need to
I just need to
Live a little, make a mess
Know it’s fine to be a wreck
And if I need to, come back home
