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 creeping.
I lie awake and pretend, you can hear me.

And you tell me that you're scared 
that you're Turning into your mother.
I feel myself turning 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 I might Scream.

And I could tell you that you're all I ever Wanted,
Dear I could utter every word
you'd ever hope to hear.
I shudder when I think that I might
Not be here forever, forever, forever

At night you whispered like a ghost
and you looked so shaken.
You're so quiet and small
and you tell me you want 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 aglow.
It's the face of someone I don't know.

And I could tell you that you're all I ever Wanted,
Dear I could utter every word
you'd ever hope to hear.
I shudder when I think that I might
Not be here forever, forever, forever

All I can think is that it must be a kind of Rebellion,
To arm your fields like soldiers and Slay them.

I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted dear,
Through the din of your breathin' while you're Sleepin here,
and you wake and you ask me if
I'm Gonna to be here forever, forever, forever.

Your face so twisted and your eyes alight,
I want to tell you I can change
the way you cry at night.
But I'd be lying.
Love is defying.
