The Airborne Toxic Event- All I Ever Wanted Lyrics

The Airborne Toxic Event- All I Ever Wanted Lyrics

I can only say these things to you while you’re sleeping
I hear the hum from the wires and the sounds of the morning creep in
I lie awake and pretend you can hear me
And you tell me that you’re scared that you’re turning into your mother
And I feel myself turn into my father
We could lie to each other like they do and say we’re so happy
It’s easy when you’re young and you still want it so badly
And I feel my heart pounding
And I think that I might scream
I can tell you that you’re all I ever wanted, dear
And I can utter every word you’ve ever hope to hear
But I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever
That night you whispered like a ghost and you looked so shaken
You were so quiet and small and you tell me you wanted to be taken
I just never think of you as the kind of girl who would say that

And you suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp
Your eyes so wide, your face a glow
It’s the face of someone I don’t know
I can tell you that you’re all I ever wanted, dear
And I can utter every word you’d ever hope to hear
Shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever

And all I could think is that it must be a kind of rebellion
To arm our fears like soldiers and slay them.
I can tell you that you’re all I’ve ever wanted, dear
Through the dim while you’re breathing, while you’re sleeping in here
Waken and you ask me if I’m going to be here forever, forever, forever
Your face so twisted and your eyes are light
I want to tell I can change and we can cry at night
But I’d be lying
Love is defying
