Wishes and Wants

I wanna break out of my skin But I am a prisoner in these cells I wanna be anywhere else But I've grown accustomed to these walls Nobody's leaving here alive She shouted as the midnight starlight fell upon her eyes As if I didn't know it As if I'd try to take it all when it was time to go When it was time to go What's the difference between wishes and wants? Between the things we say we need And what we already got Between the art we have made and stuff that we just bought What's the difference between wishes and wants? I wanna sleep a thousand years I can't even make it through the night I wanna knock down all my fears They've kept me up half my life You only get one shot at this She whispered as the morning dawn Broke open through the clouds And I guess I always knew it But only heard it clearly when it echoed from her mouth When it echoed from her mouth What's the difference between wishes and wants? Between the things we say we need and what we already got Between the art we have made and stuff that we just bought What's the difference What's the difference between wishes and wants? She called me out a hundred times If only I'd listened like I should I wrote a hundred thousand lies 'Cause sometimes the truth don't sound so good You could be the tallest tree She told me in the doorway With a suitcase by her feet But if nobody's around still the loudest fall Is only silence not a sound Like you never made a sound What's the difference between wishes and wants? Between the things we say we need and what we already got Between the art we have made and stuff that we just bought What's the difference, what's the difference, what's the difference Between wishes and wants?
