When I was a boy I could not stand the silence I needed the noise I was underage and overjoyed Changing my ways But there's so many ways to change I'm growing up I'm getting wise I'm getting strange All I was looking for was you All I was looking for was you I ran my ship into the ground Chasing some high and lonesome sound From Venice Beach to Kathmandu My money's gone my time it flew All I was looking for was you (All this time) (x2) Some marry for love Some marry for money Dollars and cents Through open arms and barbed wire fence Running away From everything that looks like me I heard a voice I saw your face, it set me free All I was looking for was you All I was looking for was you The endless highways I road down The girls I kissed in every town Midnight on heartbreak avenue All twisted up on b**hes brew All I was looking for was you Running away From everything that looks like me I heard a voice I saw your face, it set me free All I was looking for was you All I was looking for was you The endless highways I road down The girls I kissed in every town Midnight on heartbreak avenue All twisted up on b**hes brew All I was looking for was you (All this time) I learned the words I sang the song Then I got lost in Babylon I ran my ship into the ground Chasing some high and lonesome sound The lies I told you kept them through Nobody knows me like you do All I was looking for was you
