Wanting (lyrics)

I'm wanting to be her
I'm wishin' I was just like that girl
The one with the hair,
the eyes,
the body can't you see?
Man, I wish that girl were me.
She doesn't have to say a word
I can see she's in the crazy party scene
A beautiful picture, but the inside is not clean

She's gasping
she's drowning
i'm coveting her boundaries
she's hurting inside her
and I'm wishin' I could be that girl
she's crying out to me,
"Inside I am not free!"

I'm wanting to be her
Still wishin' I was just like that girl
The brightest smile
that bubbly personality
Man, I wish that girl were me.
she doesn't have to say a word
I already know she's got the world on her string.
a beautiful picture,
but the inside is not clean

She's gasping
She's drowning
I'm coveting her boundaries
She's hurting inside her
and I'm wishin' I could be that girl
She's crying out to me,
"I want to be free!"

I'm wanting to be heard
I need to say she's not the standard anymore for me
The One with the cross,
the thorns,
the blood was spilled for me
How clearly I now see

She's gasping
She's drowning
Her string is unraveling
Love has to consume her
I need to tell this beautiful girl that the standard has a fee,
but in Jesus you are free

In Jesus, you are free.
