[Verse 1:]
Bare feet on the pavement
Dilated eyes in the blue sunrise
No! That's not me — you must be mistaken
I've been an angel my whole life
How well do you know yourself?
How clear without the mirror of someone else
Cause sometimes I see darkness in me
Cause sometimes my shadow gets the best of me
A black black so pitch that I cannot breathe
And I cannot speak, can't reach inside
Not hollow but dense, equal to the light, well
How well do you know your limits?
The deeper the dream the longer you're in it
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Maybe if I had a little more money
Maybe if I had a little more sex
Maybe with a little more peace and quiet
Maybe I could make a little more sense of it
[Chorus: 7x]
All that I want
[Verse 2:]
The river of cars keeps flowing
All I can see is what's right in front of me
This isn't where I thought I was going
This isn't who I thought I would be
Met a man in the cab today
Moved here from across the ocean someplace
Where his family waits, but he's all alone
To drive a cab all day and send it all back home
And I would have felt bad but he flashed his eyes
And I could hear the joy in his voice
It was like there was nowhere in the world that he'd rather be
Than here, in a cab, driving me
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Maybe if I went out less on the weekend
Maybe if I just didn't exist
Maybe if I was straight
Maybe if I was vegan
Maybe if I still had you to kiss
[Chorus: 14x]
All that I want
[Bridge:]
I am my own sanctuary
I am my own hero
I am my own teacher
I am my own best friend
I am my own comfort food
I am my own fix
I am my own love of my life/life partner
I am my own sanctuary
I am my own sanctuary
