Everything You Want
by Vertical Horizon

***

Somewhere they're speaking.
It's already coming in
Ooh and it's rising at the back of your mind.
You never could get it unless you were faded,
And you're here and you don't know why

But under the skinned knees and skid marks,
Past the places where you used to learn.
You howl and listen,
Listen and wait for the echoes of angels that won't return.

He is everything you want, he is everything you need,
He is everything inside of you that you wish you could be.
He says all the right things at exactly the right times,
But he means nothing to you and you don't know why.

You're waiting for some one, to put you together.
You're waiting for someone to push you away.
There's always another wound to discover.
There's always something more you wish he'd say.

He is everything you want, he is everything you need,
He is everything inside of you that you wish you could be.
He says all the right things at exactly the right times,
But he means nothing to you and you don't know why.

But you'll just sit tight, and watch it unwind,
It's only what you're asking for.
And he'll be just fine with all of your time,
It's only what you're waiting for.

Out of the island, into the highway,
Past the places where you might have turned.
You never did notice, but you still hide away,
Anger of Angels who won't return.

He is everything you want, he is everything you need,
He is everything inside of you that you wish you could be.
He says all the right things at exactly the right times,
But he means nothing to you and you don't know why.

I am everything you want, I am everything you need,
I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be.
I say all the right things at exactly the right times,
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why.

And I don't know... why?
Why?
You don't know...
