Besedila: The Airborne Toxic Event. All I Ever Wanted (Bombastic Version).

I can only say these things to you while you're sleeping.
Through the hum from the wires, the sounds of the morning creeping.
I lay awake pretending you can hear me hear me.

You tell that you're scared of turning into your mother,
I feel myself turning my father.
We could lie to each other like they do and say we're still happy
Guess it's easy when you're young cause 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
I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear
I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever.

At lengths we whisper like ghosts
And you look so shaken
You're so quiet like a child and you told me you'd wish you'd be taken.
I never thought you'd be the kind of girl that who would say that.
You suddenly look like some faceless thing in my grasp.

With your eyes alight and your face aglow
This face of someone I don't know.

I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear.
I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever.

(Instrumental)

And all I could think is that it must be a kind of rebellion.
To arm your fears like soldiers and slay them.

I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
Through the dim of your breathing while you're sleeping here.
You wake and ask me if I'm going to be here forever, forever, forever.

Your face so twisted and your eyes alight
I want to tell you I can change it when you cry at night
But I'd be trying.
Love is defying.
