I Wanted More

I wanted more
Just one more week of fall
Before the winter cold came crashing in again
Just one more breath of sunshine, cooled by mountain wind
Just one more stolen moment, me and him

I needed more
I knew I must give up it all
I could feel it in the shiver of my bones
Now I’m the man who ran away, left his only home
Traded in the warmth to be alone

Now the wind will howl around these shaky rafters
Snow will fall, the icy rain will pour
You will hear me sing in springs and summers after
I wanted more
I wanted more

Been here before
And every time it rolls around
I wonder if it’s worth it to begin
To start down this winding road, knowing where it ends
Somehow I just can’t make myself pretend

That I won’t go
For this is what I’m made to do
The mountain and the stars will call my name
The seasons always change, and so they stay the same
The quiet cold will take away the pain

Chorus

I don’t wanna say goodbye
With tears in my eyes
And start this lonely climb
But the choice was never mine

Chorus

I wanted more, I wanted more
