All I Ever Wanted(Live From Walt Disney Concert Hall) feat. The Calder Quartet

歌詞

I can only say these things to you while you're sleeping I hear the hum from the wires, the sounds of the morning creeping I lie awake and pretend you can hear me 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... I can tell you that you're all I've ever wanted, dear I can utter every word you've ever hoped to hear I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever In the night you whisper like a ghost and you look 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 alight, your face aglow It's the face of someone I don't know I can tell that you're all I've ever wanted, dear I can utter every word you've ever hoped to hear I shudder when I think I might not be here forever, forever, forever And all I can think is that it must be a kind of rebellion To arm your fears like soldiers and slay them I can tell that you're all I've ever wanted, dear Through the din while you're breathing, while you're sleeping here You wake and you ask me if I'm gonna be here forever, forever, forever Your face so twisted and your eyes alight I want to tell you I can change you when you cry at night But I'd be lying Love is defying
