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 bitches 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 bitches 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
