[Verse 1]
I wanted to write a song called 'Cosmic'
I wanted to get a view of the earth
I wanted to be a lonesome cowboy
I wanted to love you till it hurt
I wanted the right to misbehave
To satiate my crave

[Chorus]
I put these things aside for years
Till laughter took the place of tears
It's like I was asleep yet now I'm here, I'm here

[Verse 2]
I wanted to take your place just sometimes
To know the things you know and why you did the things you do
To say 'no' one time and believe it
Oh, I wanted so much but only needed you
Wasn't it just my choice to make
The bed in which I lay?

[Chorus]
I put these things aside for years
Until laughter took the place of tears
It's like I was asleep yet now I'm here, I'm here
[Bridge]
I wanted to be able to talk without the interruption
I wanted to sing exotic words
I wanted to find a way to put the end to all of my destruction
I wanted to re-know what I was worth
But wasn't it just my choice to make
The bed in which I lay?

[Chorus]
I put these things aside for years
Until laughter took the place of tears
It's like I was asleep yet now I'm here, I'm here And it's cosmic
I'm here And it's cosmic
