Story Behind the Song
I wrote the words to this song ages ago, venting at my parents and grandparents who think something's wrong with me because I'm not married and (gasp) 27 years old. The rest of it evolved organically over the course of more than a year of playing with a chord progression.
Lyrics
I don't want to settle down if I'm settling for second best
I'm looking for so much more than a pretty face, I won't settle for less
If I never find her then I guess that I'll wander and stay free
I'm happy on my own as me.
The road seems to call to me as if I am travelling home
Move forward, keep rambling, by myself but never alone
Red hair, blue eyes call to me, but they never quite satisfy
So I keep moving towards the sky
Oh, I can't belive that she's out there
Oh, the woman that I'm looking for
Oh, the eyes and smile that I long for
Oh, the one that can see and knows all of me
Accepting of me the way I can be
Who knows me the way that I know myself
So why should I try anymore?
I don't think I'll settle down with a woman who is all wrong
I think I'll stay on the road that leads me on all the day long
I'll give up my wanderlust on the day that my road leads to her
Until them I'm happy on my own
