When I was a boy
I could not stand the silence
I needed the noise

I was underage and overjoyed
Changing my ways
But there's so many ways to change

I'm growing up
I'm getting wise I'm getting strange


All I was looking for was you
All I was looking for was you
I ran my ship into the ground

Chasing some high and lonesome sound
From Venice Beach to Kathmandu
My money's gone my time it flew

All I was looking for was you
(All this time) (x2)


Some marry for you
Some marry for money
Dollars and cents

Through open arms and barbed wire fence
Running away
From everything that looks like me

I heard a voice
I saw your face, it set me free


All I was looking for was you
All I was looking for was you
The endless highways I road down

The girls I kissed in every town
Midnight on heartbreak avenue
All twisted up on (*##$es brew

All I was looking for was you

Running away

From everything that looks like me
I heard a voice
I saw your face, it set me free


All I was looking for was you
All I was looking for was you

The endless highways I road down
The girls I kissed in every town
Midnight on heartbreak avenue

All twisted up on (*##$es brew
All I was looking for was you
(All this time)

I learned the words I sang the song
Then I got lost and babbled on
I ran my ship into the ground

Chasing some high and lonesome sound
The lies I told you kept them through
Nobody knows me like you do

All I was looking for was you
