Lyrics
Everything I Wanted
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He was standing like a statue in the light
And he looked just like perfection in my eyes
When he spoke I staggered from the glow
Once I touched I never could let go
(Oh) oh (oh) this is what I've waited for.
Oh oh oh, everything I wanted
Oh oh oh, everything I wanted
For a while.
So we whispered every secret we could tell
And we painted lovely pictures of ourselves
Though we hid the parts we did not want to know
As the strength of our illusions took control
(Oh) oh (oh) this is what I've waited for.
Oh oh oh, everything I wanted
Oh oh oh, everything I wanted
Oh oh oh, everything I wanted.
I never know if my heart tells lies
Caught in a feeling I just can't fight
First I go up then I come back down
'Til we come back around.
(Oh) oh (oh) this is what I've waited for.
Oh oh oh, everything I wanted
Oh oh oh, everything I wanted
Oh oh oh, everything I wanted.
Everything I want (oh oh oh)
Everything I need (everything I wanted)
I don't know (oh oh oh)
Everything I want (everything I wanted)
Baby come on time will tell (oh oh oh)
Everything I need (everything I wanted).
Oh yeah (oh oh oh)
Oh oh - everything that I wanted
Oh oh (oh oh oh)
Oh oh - everything I want
I don't hide (oh oh oh)
Oh oh - everything I wanted.
