The Airborne Toxic Event - All I Ever Wanted

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 so low

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 save you when you cry at night

But I'd be lying

Love is defying
