What You Wanted Lyrics by Mei (Brandt Orange)

2021

[Verse 1]
You swear that diet’s sweeter
You handed me your glass
Spent your last check on some sneakers
That you wore out to the club
Said you barely fit your mama’s True Religion
Or those jeans from '89
Said you really loved your time this gap semester
Wouldn’t mind taking another
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you wanna be a dancer like your grandma
She used to be a hippie in the 60s
Got a boyfriend at some Colorado college
Think he’s cheating but he tells you that
He loves you еvery night so you believе him
When he says you’re his one and only
And all this time you’ve still been waiting
Yeah, on the life you thought you’d be living
[Chorus]
And you’re lost in the burbs
You’ve had enough of the white picket fences
On your lawn, he parks an F-150
Yeah, you’re lost
You can’t figure out what you wanted anymore
Figure out what you wanted
[Verse 2]
You swear that life is sweeter on the other side of the glass
You spent your last check on a red eye to sunny Los Angeles
Said you barely fit your bills this past September
Or those roles you’re trying out
Said you got another job way down in Inglewood
And it’s supposed to pay you better
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you want to be a dancer like Samantha
She used to strip in school just for the money
Got a boyfriend out in Santa Monica College
He’s cheating but he tells you that
He loves you every night so you believe him
When he says you’re his one and only
And all this time you’ve still been waiting
Yeah, on the life you thought you’d be living
[Chorus]
And you’re lost in the burbs
You’ve had enough of the white picket fences
On your lawn, he parks an F-150
Yeah, you’re lost
You can’t figure out what you wanted anymore
[Post-Chorus}
Figure out what you wanted
Ooh figure out what you wanted
Ooh figure out what you wanted
[Outro]
And you found yourself at some night clubs
And you lost your mind in a young love
And these nights they feel so nostalgic
But the time still went faster
And you found yourself at some night clubs
And you lost your mind in a young love
And these nights they feel so nostalgic
But the time still went faster than last year
