The first time these words came out of my mouth I immediately started crying. There's something powerful that happens when you admit to yourself out loud the extent to which you are yearning for something, the extent to which you are hurting. It can break your heart into a million little pieces, but somehow that's better than the pressure cooker of trying to dismiss your emotions and make them smaller. Acknowledging and respecting where I was at allowed me to fully step into my heartache and give myself permission to feel all these things, and in some ways it was a first step in realizing I needed to be a bit kinder to myself, too. This is a song about yearning and loss and the delicate balance of trying to accept the path you're on while not letting it rob you of hope in the process.

“I Never Wanted Anything More Than I Wanted You” Lyrics

i’m at my lowest, caught in a moment, trying to get over this

all of the marks i’ve logged on the page, the waiting has got me sick

i can’t get away from it now

i can’t get away from it now

i try to think lightly, picture the lines and hope that the feeling sticks

where we’re all smiling, holding the prize, i can almost imagine it

but i can’t even let myself now

i can’t even let myself now

i feel you in the sea washing over me, something in the moving tides

every fallen leaf seems to say to me, “everything in time”

i never wanted anything more than i wanted you

i never wanted anything more than i wanted you

come back to me

i never wanted anything more than i wanted you

i look at the trees and fall into pieces, god i am sick of this

if i believe that this is for me, can i make the most of it

i can feel the weight of it now

i can feel the weight of it now

i feel you in the sea washing over me, something in the moving tides

every fallen leaf seems to say to me, “everything in time”

i never wanted anything more than i wanted you

i never wanted anything more than i wanted you

come back to me

i never wanted anything more than i wanted you
