You might not be the same as me But we can both see something's wrong We grow up wanting things Things on a list that just goes on I want a house I want a car I want a garden that stretches far Cause won't that make me happy? Now that I'm old enough To have an opinion and stuff I guess what I'm trying to say Is You like things And I like you But I can say that I Prefer things That I do Over the things that we all buy I've been this way to some degree But now I see That it's not what I want What I want to be We want material things But it's so pointless Don't you see? Girls have their tons of clothes Guys have their cars on show But we are victims of our greed I want a phone I want toys Objects won't fill my void They will not make me happy Some people have it rough Other's can see the lie I guess what I'm trying to say Is You like things And I like you But I can say that I Prefer things That I do Over the things that we all buy I've been this way to some degree But now I see That it's not what I want What I want to be Oh oh What I want to be Oh oh What I wan't be Oh oh oh oh oh oh (You can't ever have everything) You like things And I like you (It get's you to buy) But I can say that I (And I don't wanna buy) Prefer things (I don't want it) That I do (I don't want it) Over the things that we all buy (I don't want it) (Don't wanna pick this home) I've been this way to some degree (Don't wanna bring this home) But now I see That it's not what I want What I want to be
