[Verse 1]
Smoked this city down to the roach
Thought by now it'd feel like home
I’m always reachin' for my coat
Where else would I even go?
This city's where I learned to drive
I’m a frequent at the local dive
Must've played there 'bout a thousand times
They still can't spell my name right
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't mean to be so lightweight
But I'm having trouble keepin' up
[Chorus]
What is it I want?
If I got it would it be enough?
What is it I want?
Am I askin' the wrong questions?
[Verse 2]
Breakin’ sweat by six a.m.
Home before she says goodnight
See you changin’ in thе mirror
I've never been this happy or tirеd
I always thought it’d be different
Then I remember what Hampton said
"You're the people, not the pig"
Hang me with the landlord If I forget
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't mean to be some bourgeois
Havin' trouble tryna keep this up
Last night I dreamt I was in a gold-filled tub
Divin’ like Scrooge McDuck
It felt pretty good
[Chorus]
What is it I want?
If I got it would it be enough?
What is it I want?
Am I askin' the wrong question?
[Bridge]
I always said I'd be someone
Well, I talk too much
Like I said I wouldn't fall in love
You went and called my bluff
What is it I—
What is it I—
[Chorus]
What is it I want?
If I got it would it be enough?
What is it I want?
Am I askin' the wrong questions?
What is it I want?
If I got it would it be enough?
What is it I want?
If I got it would it be enough?
[Outro]
This city's taken most my life
Lord knows that car crash tried
Doc said I could've died
Don't tempt me with a good time
I don't mean to be some lightweight
But I'm havin' trouble keepin' up
Smoked this city down to the roach
Thought by now it'd feel like home
I’m always reachin' for my coat
Where else would I even go?
This city's where I learned to drive
I’m a frequent at the local dive
Must've played there 'bout a thousand times
They still can't spell my name right
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't mean to be so lightweight
But I'm having trouble keepin' up
[Chorus]
What is it I want?
If I got it would it be enough?
What is it I want?
Am I askin' the wrong questions?
[Verse 2]
Breakin’ sweat by six a.m.
Home before she says goodnight
See you changin’ in thе mirror
I've never been this happy or tirеd

If I got it would it be enough?
What is it I want?
If I got it would it be enough?
[Outro]

Don't tempt me with a good time
I don't mean to be some lightweight
