lyrics

It’s kind of funny now -- I have a credit card
I have a wallet full -- And I have no curfew
Yeah, I have everything -- Don’t have to make a choice
And could have so much more
And still

I don’t want candy for breakfast
Cause to tell the truth
I really think I’m needing something more
I used to like the sugar
But I want to take this further
What I used to want is spilled out on the floor

Sometimes I miss California, when I’m driving through New Mexico
And then I start missing where I’ve never been
the place I told myself I would never go

If you second guess -- What you’ve always known before
You can always take it back -- To just what it was
Incorporate -- All of your true desires
Into just one big dream -- I don’t want everything

Don’t give me candy for breakfast -- Don’t want to feel that useless
I really think I’m needing something more
I used to like the sugar -- But I want to take this further
What I used to want is spilled out on the floor

If you got candy for breakfast -- Don’t put me on your guest list
Cause I think I’m needing something more
I used to like sugar

But I need more
