Lyrics to All I Want
Bare feet on the pavement
Dilated eyes in the blue sunrise, no!
That's not me -- you must be mistaken
I've been an angel my whole life
How well do you know yourself?
How clear without the mirror of someone else
Cause sometimes I see darkness in me (SHADOW)
A black black so pitch that I cannot breathe
And I cannot speak, can't reach inside
Not hollow but dense, equal to the light, well--
How do well you know your limits?
The deeper the dream the longer you're in it
Maybe if I had a little more money
Maybe if I had a little more sex
Maybe with a little more peace and quiet
Maybe I could make a little more sense of it
All that I want
The river of cars keeps flowing
All I can see is what's right in front of me
This isn't where I thought I was going
This isn't who I thought I would be
Met a man in the cab today
Moved here from across the ocean someplace
Where his family waits, but he's all alone
To drive a cab all day and send it all back home
And I would have felt bad but he flashed his eyes
And I could hear the joy in his voice. It was like
There was nowhere in the world that he'd rather be
Than here, in a cab, driving me
Maybe if I went out less on the weekend
Maybe if I just didn't exist
Maybe if I was straight, maybe if I was vegan
Maybe if I still had you to kiss
[?]
I am my own sanctuary
I am my own hero
I am my own teacher
I am my own best friend
I am my own comfort food
I am my own fix
I am my own love of my life/life partner
I am my own sanctuary
I am my own sanctuary
Dilated eyes in the blue sunrise, no!
That's not me -- you must be mistaken
I've been an angel my whole life
How well do you know yourself?
How clear without the mirror of someone else
Cause sometimes I see darkness in me (SHADOW)
A black black so pitch that I cannot breathe
And I cannot speak, can't reach inside
Not hollow but dense, equal to the light, well--
How do well you know your limits?
The deeper the dream the longer you're in it
Maybe if I had a little more money
Maybe if I had a little more sex
Maybe with a little more peace and quiet
Maybe I could make a little more sense of it
All that I want
The river of cars keeps flowing
All I can see is what's right in front of me
This isn't where I thought I was going
This isn't who I thought I would be
Met a man in the cab today
Moved here from across the ocean someplace
Where his family waits, but he's all alone
To drive a cab all day and send it all back home
And I would have felt bad but he flashed his eyes
And I could hear the joy in his voice. It was like
There was nowhere in the world that he'd rather be
Than here, in a cab, driving me
Maybe if I went out less on the weekend
Maybe if I just didn't exist
Maybe if I was straight, maybe if I was vegan
Maybe if I still had you to kiss

I am my own sanctuary
I am my own hero
I am my own teacher
I am my own best friend
I am my own comfort food
I am my own fix
I am my own love of my life/life partner
I am my own sanctuary
I am my own sanctuary
