[Verse] I wanted the stars but got the streetlights I reached for the ocean but held a puddle tight Dreams turned to lists Yeah they flipped overnight What I craved just vanished out of sight [Chorus] I wanted more I wanted fire But my drive got swapped for a flat tire Desire burns Oh it’s so sweet But necessity It knocks me off my feet [Verse 2] I pictured sunsets but got alarm clocks Chasing castles Now I'm counting my socks The heart says “go ” but the wallet talks Trade a dream for a key to the same old locks [Chorus] I wanted more I wanted fire But my drive got swapped for a flat tire Desire burns Oh it’s so sweet But necessity It knocks me off my feet [Bridge] Oh It’s a dance A cruel little game Swapping the wild for the tame The thing you love for the thing you need It’s a bitter pill But it plants the seed [Chorus] I wanted more I wanted fire But my drive got swapped for a flat tire Desire burns Oh it’s so sweet But necessity It knocks me off my feet Dreams are dying when you gotta make ends meet
