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 I ask

And now that I am looking back,

I see that what I had was what I found



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



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

Ohh

Thought to look

Ohh, ohh



Between the younger years of restless

And the settled here and now

Oh, 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.
