Everything You Want

It's taken much too long
To get it right
Would it be so wrong
To maybe find someone
A miracle

And all you really need
Is everything you could never be
And so you'd give it all
For a miracle

Chorus
Is there a trace
Inside her face
Of a lonely miracle
And so you wait
And lie awake
For a lonely miracle

You never really know
What it is
Not until it goes
And if it comes again
It's a miracle

But what you miss is love
In everything below and up above
And could she bring it all
A miracle

Chorus

All you wanted was a (miracle)
All you needed was a miracle
A miracle
And all you wanted was a (miracle)
All you needed was a miracle
A miracle

It's taken so long to get it right
Could it be so wrong
To maybe find someone
A miracle

Chorus

Take a listen through the window
Take a lover on the radio
Ask her if she's got an answer
Do you know

Time enough to get a good one
Though they never seem to get done
I am standing for a reason
Do you know

Chorus
'cause i don't know how
And i don't know where
We are we are

And i don't know why
I don't know if
We are we are

Seven days and not a return
Seven lives and not a thing learned
Take a lover on the highway
Do you know?

'cause i am sleeping on a time bomb
And i am waiting for the light to come
You and i could get away now
Do you know

Chorus

I get up sometimes
Like somebody else
Am i just wasting time
For somebody else

Take a listen through the window
Another lover on the radio
Ask her if she's got an answer
Do you know?

Chorus

I need to know if you were real
'cause i've been known to get it wrong
When the memory comes
I'll say i'm always in the dark
You got me now

Chorus
I want to give you back
I want to give you back
Somewhere out of here
I want to give you
I want to give you
I want to give you back

I can't remember how it went
You looked like everything i wanted
And as you came along
Slowly everything began to change
I got you now

Chorus

That's enough
Just talking about it
I don't mind
I don't mind no i
Laugh enough
Just dreaming about it

I need to know if you were real
I'd hate to think that i'd been fooled again
And as the vision fades
I'll say i was blinded by your eyes
I felt them burn

Chorus

Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why

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


Chorus
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

You're waiting for someone
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

Chorus

But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'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
The anger of angels who won't return

Chorus
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 time
But i mean nothing to you and i don't know why
And i don't know why
Why
I don't know

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now i'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

Nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now

Chorus
But it's not so bad
You're only the best i ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best i ever had

So you stole my world
Now i'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely

Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better

Chorus
But it's not so bad
You're only the best i ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best i ever had

And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But i can't take it so i
Run away and hide
And i may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now i'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

What was it you wanted
Could it be i'm haunted

Chorus
But it's not so bad
You're only the best i ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best i ever had
The best i ever had
The best i ever
