[Verse 1]
I used to wanna be a cowboy
A shadow in a sunset
That's why I started smokin' cigarettes
I used to wanna be a cowboy
I used to wanna be Elvis
Drive a pink Cadillac car
That's why I learned to play the guitar
I used to wanna be Elvis

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a lot of things I used to wanna do
'Til I met you

[Chorus]
Now I wanna be honest
Now I wanna be better
Now I wanna be the me I should've been when we were together
I wanna be at least almost close to worth your love
I wanna be who you thought I was

[Verse 2]
I used to wanna join the circus
Hang around with the freak show
Wish I'd learned to walk a tight rope
I used to wanna join the circus
Used to wanna stay eighteen
I used to want an Airstream
With a lawn chair tumbleweed view
Now I just want you
[Chorus]
And I wanna be honest
Now I wanna be better
I wanna be the me I should've been when we were together
I wanna be at least almost close to worth your love
I wanna be who you thought I was

[Bridge]
There's a lot of things I used to wanna be
'Til you stopped lovin' me

[Chorus]
Now I wanna be steady
I wanna be forever
Now I wanna be the me I could've been when we were together
I wanna be at least almost close to worth your love
I wanna be who you thought I was
Yeah, I wanna be who you thought I was
