Everything You Want

Vertical Horizon
Billboard 100 Hits-2000

Somewhere, there's speaking, it's already coming inOh, and it's rising at the back of your mindYou never could get it unless you were fed itNow you're here and you don't know why

But under skinned knees and the skid marksPast the places where you used to learnYou howl and listen, listen and wait for theEchoes of angels who won't return

He's everything you want, he's everything you needHe's everything inside of you that you wish you could beHe says all the right things at exactly the right timeBut he means nothing to you and you don't know why

You're waiting for someone to put you togetherYou're waiting for someone to push you awayThere's always another wound to discoverThere's always something more you wish he'd say

He's everything you want, he's everything you needHe's everything inside of you that you wish you could beHe says all the right things at exactly the right timeBut he means nothing to you, and you don't know why

But you'll just sit tight and watch it unwindIt's only what you're asking forAnd you'll be just fine with all of your timeIt's only what you're waiting for

Out of the island, into the highwayPast the places where you might have turnedYou never did notice, but you still hide awayAnger of angels who won't return

He's everything you want, he's everything you needHe's everything inside of you that you wish you could beHe says all the right things at exactly the right timeBut he means nothing to you, and you don't know why

I am everything you want, I am everything you needI am everything inside of you that you wish you could beI say all the right things at exactly the right timeBut I mean nothing to you and I don't know why

And I don't know whyWhy?I don't know
