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 O ask
Now that I am looking back I see that
What I had was what I found
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
Thought to look
Between the younger years of restless
And the settled here and now
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
