All that I wanted

Shadows out on the pavement 

follow me around like your memories. 

Waking without you beside me, 

without all this aching 

I’d think you were a dream.  

I guess we never found our way. 

I’m thinking that it’s safe to say. 

But you’re the only one that I, ever wanted... 

You, all that I wanted. 

You, for love, love.

Breathing, breathing without you, 

heaviness weighing on my chest. 

Give me a line to hang onto, 

I’m dangling forever over the moon for you.

I guess we never found our way. 

I’m thinking that it’s safe to say. 

But you’re the only one that I, ever wanted... 

You, all that I wanted. 

You, for love, love.
