What I’m Looking For Lyrics

Well I don't know what I'm looking for
But I know that I just wanna look some more
And I won't be satisfied
Till there's nothing left that I haven't tried

For some people it's an easy choice
But for me there's a devil and an angel's voice
Well, I don't know what I am looking for
But I know that I just wanna look some more

Well I don't know what I'm living for
But I know that I just wanna live some more
And you hear it from strangers and you hear it from friends
That love never dies and love never ends

And I don't wanna argue, no I don't wanna fight
'Cause you're always wrong and I'm always right
Well, I don't know what I am living for
But I know that I just wanna live some more

I used to be involved, and I felt like a king
Now I've lost it all and I don't feel a thing
I may never grow up, I may never give in
And I'll blame this world that I live in
I visit hell on a daily basis
And I see the sadness in all your faces
I've got friends who have married
And their lives seem complete
And here I am still stumbling down a darkened street
A darkened street
And I act like a child and I'm insecure
And I'm filled with doubt and I'm immature
Sometimes it creeps up on me
And before I know it I'm lost at sea

But no matter how far I row
I always find my way back home
But I don't know what I've been waiting for
But I know that I don't wanna wait anymore

( Looking for) What I'm looking for
( Looking for) What I'm looking for
( Looking for) What I'm looking for
( Looking for) What I'm looking for
( Looking for) What I'm looking for

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
