Lyrics
I want the sun to shine some more
I desire more sunny days in my life.
Don't want the world to move so fast
I wish for a slower pace in the world.
What is that stain on the kitchen floor
Curiosity about a stain on the kitchen floor.
Bury my head and live in the past
Expressing a desire to escape reality and live in the past.
You don't always get what you wish for
A reminder that wishes don't always come true.
You don't always get what you wish for
-I want a girl with a small tattoo
Desiring a romantic partner with a small tattoo.
Live on a boat that's built for two
Imagining a life on a boat built for two.
Walk up a hill and don't come down
Aspiring to climb a hill and avoid coming back down.
At least that way I'll never drown
Symbolic reference to avoiding emotional drowning.
You don't always get what you wish for
Reiteration that wishes may not always be fulfilled.
You don't always get what you wish for
-And if I change would my life be the same
Contemplating the impact of personal change on life.
Represented by the man with no name
Reference to an anonymous or undefined identity.
I guess I could slow down and walk the longer path
Considering a slower, more deliberate life path.
But for now I think I'll take a long hot bath
Opting for a temporary escape or relaxation, symbolized by a bath.
I want to drive down an empty road
Expressing a desire for a solitary drive on an empty road.
Make the first footprint in the snow
Yearning for the experience of making the first footprint in the snow.
Listen again so I understand
Seeking understanding through careful listening.
Play guitar in a rock n roll band
Dreaming of playing guitar in a rock n roll band.
You don't always get what you wish for
Reaffirming the unpredictable nature of wishes.
You don't always get what you wish for
-And if I change would my life be the same
Reflecting on the potential consequences of personal change.
Represented by the man with no name
Association with an identity represented by anonymity.
I guess I could slow down and walk the longer path
Weighing the choice of a longer, more thoughtful path in life.
But for now I think I'll take a long hot bath
Choosing a temporary escape through a relaxing bath.
And if I change would my life be the same
Revisiting the impact of potential personal changes.
Represented by the man with no name
Continued reference to an identity represented by no name.
I guess I could slow down and walk the longer path
Considering the option of a slower life journey.
But for now I think I'll take a long hot bath
Choosing the immediate comfort of a long hot bath.
