Maybe the want comes from the cortex, while the urge comes from the cerebellum. Or the want comes from the superego, while the urge comes from the id. Though I agree that at other times it doesn’t feel necessary to talk of urges. I distinguished two different explanations here. One with urges vs wants, one with “want” vs “want to want”. Though you already touched on the latter.
