Everything You Want

Vertical Horizon Everything You Want Lyrics
1.We Are

We are
We are


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
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

And, I don't know how
I don't know where...
We are...

I don't know why
I don't know if, if, if, if...
We are...
We are...

We are


2.You're a God

I've gotta be honest
I think you know
We're covered in lies and that's okay
And there's somewhere beyond this, I know
But I hope I can find the words to say

Never again, no...
No, never again...

Chorus:
'Cause you're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
That you would know
You're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
I'd let you go

But I've been unable
To put you down
I'm still learning things I ought to know by now
It's under the table, so
I need something more to show, somehow

So, never again, no...
No, never again...

Chorus

I've got to be honest
I think you know
We're covered in lies and that's okay
There's somewhere beyond this, I know
But I hope I can find the words to say

Never again, no...
No, never again...

Chorus

You're a god
(Oh, and I am not)
I just thought that you would know...
(Oh, I thought that you would know)

You're a god
(Oh, and I am not)
I just thought
I'd let you go


3.Everything You Want

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

And I don't know...


4.Best I Ever Had(Grey Sky Morning)

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
(Not so bad...)
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
(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...


5.You Say

Here in the light
It burns you up inside
Here in the shell of a sun
We echo on

Too much listening
Not enough living

Chorus:
And you say
What did I say
What did you say
We just
Go away
Go away
Go away...

It helps you out
Knowing I'm left out
Locked in a box with a light
That won't shine

Turn it on and wait for
Someone to come

Chorus

I'm here now
Waiting
Holding on to reasons
Wasted
I faced it
Watching you deny me

Here in the light
It burns you out sometimes
Here in the shell of a sun
We echo on

Left alone forever
All alone together

Chorus


6.Finding Me

I don't think you notice
When you see my face
I guess you're waiting
To spin me around again

Wheels I guess are turning
Somewhere inside my head
I know that this is
Deeper than you get

But you're coming back again
You don't mean to waste my time
But you're coming back so

Chorus:
Don't tell me
How to be
'Cause I like some suffering
Don't ask me
What I need
I'm just fine
Here finding me...
Me...

I've already given
Up on getting through
I never question
Who I'm talking to

Oh, so much for nothing
But nothing means so much
I know it's touching
But I've been out of touch

And it's all that I can do
I'm a sight for my sore eyes
But it's all I am so

Chorus

I don't think you notice
When I can't reach out
I guess you're waiting
On somebody else again

Oh, so much for talking
It's all been said before
I'm hearing something
but I wish you'd just say more

But you're going off again
When I try to just hold on
But you're going off, so

Chorus

Finding me...
Me...


7.Miracle

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


8.Send It Up

Ooh... you make me lay down
Ooh... you make me forget I am here
Ooh... you're making me safe now
Ooh... you make the faces disappear

I'm alright, by the way
Everyone saves the day
Sometimes I feel it

Chorus:
Send it up
Ah, send it up now
Send it up


Ooh... I feel so close now
Ooh... you're taking me back from where I've been
Ooh... I'm not alone now
Ooh... you rest me up and rush me in

I'm alright, by the way
Everyone saves the day
Sometimes I feel it

Chorus:
Send it up
Ah, send it up now
Send it up
Send it up to me


I'm alright, by the way
Everyone saves the day
Sometimes I feel it

Chorus


Send it up
Ah, send it up now
Send it up... it up now
Send it up
Ah, send it up now
Send it up...
Now...


9.Give You Back

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 wanna give you back
I wanna give you back
Somewhere out of here
I wanna give you
I wanna give you
I wanna 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 out of here...
You gotta get one out of here
Get on out of here
Get on out of here
Get on out of...


10.All of You

So you say
I'm too quiet
Holding things
Up in my head

I say so much
But you don't buy it
I don't want to wake up
Alone in my head... ow...

Say that you'll never go now
Don't go
Don't go

Chorus:
I need a lot of you
I want a lot of you
I need a lot of you
All of you

I tend to think
I'm getting nowhere
I drag it out
Whenever I can

Someday
I'll get back there
And find the world
You dropped from your hand... ow...

Some things you'll never show now
I know
I know

Chorus

(Do, do, do...)
Watch you coming up
(Do, do, do...)
Out on top now
(Do, do, do...)
Watch you coming up
(Do, do, do...)

Chorus

(When the lights go down...)
I need a lot of you...
(When the lights go down...)
Oh, I want all of you...
(When the lights go down...)
I need a lot of you
All of you
Yeah, all of you


11.Shackled

For so long my life's been sewn up tight inside your hold
And it leaves me there without a place to call my own

I know now what shadows can see
There's no point in running 'less you run with me
It's half the distance through the open door
Before you cut me down
Again...
So let me introduce you to the end

And I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wings
It always leads me back to suffering
But I will soar until the wind whips me down
Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again

So tired now of paying my dues
I start out strong but then I always lose
It's half the distance 'fore you leave me behind
It's such a waste of time

Chorus:
'Cause my shackles
So you won't be
And my rapture
So you won't believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me

So here I slave inside of a broken dream
Forever holding on to splitting seams
So take your piece and leave me alone to die
I don't need you to keep my faith alive

And I know now what trouble can be
And why it follows me so easily
It's half the distance through the open door
Before you shut me down
Again...
Let me introduce you to the end

Chorus

So though you know you care

Chorus

Yeah... yeah...

And my laughter
You won't hear
The faster
I disappear
And time will burn your eyes...
