Open house was on a Sunday It's getting harder to pretend People pushing through the door Wearing clothes they can't afford, I always said I'd never be like one of them Between the younger years of restless And the settled here and now. All these questions that I ask And now that I am looking back, I see that what I had was what I found So why did I wish for a better life After everything that I tried I couldn't see it But if I only understood It's the only place I never thought to look Somehow I never even noticed All the beauty in between A simple word, a quiet house A kiss before we fall asleep here on the couch All I have is all I need So why did I wish for a better life After everything that I tried I couldn't see it But if I only understood It's the only place I never thought to look Ohh Thought to look Ohh, ohh Between the younger years of restless And the settled here and now Oh, why did I doubt Why did I wish for a better life After everything that I tried I couldn't see it But if I only understood It's the only place I never thought to look.
