Lyrics

I thought I got what I wanted
Thought I finished what I started, oh
I thought I was un-brokenhart
But I’m still desperate, hurt and departed

Oh, I’m searchin’, I’m still searchin’
Could go all around the world and be
Still hung up on what I need

Searchin’, I’m still searchin’
My god, won’t you promise me
I’ll find what makes life worth living

(Worth living) I’ll find what makes life worth living
(Searching) that one day I can stop searching
(For what makes life worth living) uh, yeah
One day I’ll find it, for now, I’m searching

Figured I finally made it
Figured I’d struck gold, not gold-plated
I figured with how long I waited
That I was finished, oh I have been so patient

But I’m searchin’, I’m still searchin’
Could go all around the world and be
Still hung up on what I need

Searchin’, I’m still searchin’
My god, won’t you promise me
I’ll find what makes life worth living

(Worth living) I’ll find what makes life worth living
(Searching) that one day I can stop searching
(For what makes life worth living) uh, yeah
One day I’ll find it, for now, I’m searching

If looking through binoculars, or a telescopic lens
Or under a microscope, will it be enough to cope?
In the clearest photo will I still find the flaws?
Is it my fault 

If I’m searchin’, still searching
Could go all around the world and be
Still hung up on what I need

Searchin’, I’m still searching
My god, won’t you promise me
I’ll find what makes life worth  

(Worth living) Searching, I’m still searching 
(Searching) Been searching for twenty years
When will it be enough my dear?
(For what makes life worth living)

Watch the world as it spins, I
Wanna love my life again, I
Wanna find relief within, I
Wanna feel that loving

Go all around the world and be
Still hung up on what I need
I wanna believe
My life’s worth living

About This Song

Honest reckoning with a lifelong search for meaning that turns inward, questioning whether the inability to find fulfillment is self-generated.

What is the song “Searchin'” by Chad Lewine about?

This is about my too-long path to find stability and sustained validation in my life.

— Chad Lewine
