What You Want Lyrics

Cover art for What You Want lyrics by Hayley Sales

Pretty self explanatory--your mentality and the choices that you make determine how old you are, not the calendar years you've lived through: "checking numbers isn't how to know how old you've grown; it's only what you want." The singer is instructing/encouraging us to live life more youthfully, and to enjoy it fully, instead of living aimlessly and not appreciating what's around us. "Stop and look at the sun, tell me what have you done today, that left you dreaming." She instructs us to not be overwhelmed by our responsibilities and obligations, especially those that have been forced on us by ourselves or others--"you're living life like you're dead and in over your head".

C'est ca! Anyways. I like this song, very chill. Hayley Sales is reminiscient of Jack Johnson (a female one, duh). Peaceee.
