All I Ever Wanted (Live from Walt Disney Concert Hall) The Airborne Toxic Event (Ft. The Calder Quartet)

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

I turn over in bed and I feel my heart beating faster
I stare out the window and 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

And the time we were alone together at the station
You were so quiet like a child and you tell me you want to be taken
I just never thought of you as the kind of girl who would do that
And you suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp

And I'd be lying if I said that I didn't find it exciting
Your eyes roll into your face so warm and inviting

And 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
