Vertical Horizon - Everything You Want
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
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 days 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
You're A God
I've got to be honest
I think you know
We're covered in lies and that's OK
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
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 OK
There's somewhere beyond this I know
But I hope I can find the words to say
Never again no
No never again
Chorus
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 times
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 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
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
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
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
