How We Want To

Oh middle child me

Not sick of being lonely

Fighting for a feeling with the outside pushing in

Starting to begin

I sit in the morning

I won't say a word

I'll sift through my boxes

Let them fall till I am sorted

Starting to begin

I want a life that I choose for myself

From the inside growing up

Like trees from the well

I wanna be, darling, next to you

Tell me please, do you want that too

I've been keeping all their tension

Till I'm barely breathing in

Blurring all my vision

I've forgotten how to swim again

You help me to begin again

I want a life that we choose for ourselves

From the inside growing up

Like trees from the well

I wanna be, darling, next to you

Tell me please, do you want that too

In our love we'll build bridges

Create with our own choices

We can make a place to belong

To our lives we're not strangers

But lovers and celebrators

And I believe, I believe

We'll make a life that we choose for ourselves

From the inside growing up

Like trees from the well

I wanna be, darling, with you

I wanna do it how we want to

Tell me please, do you want that too
