Elliot Matsu Find What You're Looking For lyrics

Growing up out on the prairie
Growing up you want to be married
Oh my darling I see you waiting
And your time is coming
The hours are running
Into days that will pass away
Come the morning you'll be leaving
On a train

You've heard the stories but you've never slept a night
In a tall building
You've heard the names and thought that you might
Like the same

To find what you're lookin' for
To come back just once more

And in their faces I can see the way it was before the war
The gateless gate the teachers holding the open door
And in these dirty moments dull confusion rattles us awake
Churning, trying to undo our first mistake


Growing up on right and wrong
Growing up we're raised on fighting
All our honor a fleeting feeling
That goes out with the tide
It rises up and settles down and leaves us lyin' in confusion
We gasp for air and reach out
Grabbing for illusion

To find what we're lookin' for
To come back just once more

And in their faces I can see the way it was before the war
The gateless gate the teachers holding the open door
And in these dirty moments dull confusion rattles us awake
Churning, trying to undo our first mistake

Coming here to find what we're lookin' for
To come back just once more
