[Verse 1]
My dad always told me to be an author
He said I’d get so rich I could buy him a yacht
But is it really easier to pen a bestseller
Than make a living wage if I give this everything I’ve got?
My mom was more patient, she’d just say…
[Chorus]
You could do so many things
You could do anything
What do you want to do?
What do you want to do?
What do you want to do?
[Verse 2]
I always had a knack for numbers
So if it was just money
I would have been an engineer or a CPA
But it’s hard to find the space inside my mind
For those numbers
When I’m writing a song in my head every minute of the day
[Chorus]
You could do so many things
You could do anything
What do you want to do?
What do you want to do?
What do you want to do?
[Bridge]
Everybody’s always getting at
Some different way that I should be
But I’m not here to please anyone
I’m only here for me
And the more this life disappoints
The more certainty that I seem to find
This is what I want the most, by a catastrophic landslide
[Chorus]
You could do so many things, you could do anything
[Outro]
And this is such a simple thing
Might never lead to anything
But it’s all I ever wanted to do
It's all I ever wanted to do
It's all I ever wanted to do
It's all I ever wanted to do
