all i was looking for was you

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

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

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
