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 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...

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.

Through the night you whispered like a ghost and you looked so shaken.
You were so quiet like a child and you told 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 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 you'd 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 wanna tell you I can change the way you cry at night.
But I'd be lying.
Love is defying
