All I Ever Wanted (EM Version) Lyrics

I'm borne across the waves

On a cold November day

When the light don't seem so bright anymore

But when all is said and done

I'll be the last to up and run

I've done my time just outta sight from shore

And though today is goddamned bleak

I won't turn the other cheek

The sun is on at the edge of the world

We balance like the beam

Our breath turns into steam

We might be gone one day for sure

But all I ever wanted was her

I been beat down like a dog

Howling out to god

Take these weary bones away to golden lands

But when a soul's born to lose

The only way to change the tune

Switch that solo act to a two piece band

And though today is goddamned bleak

I won't turn the other cheek

The sun is on at the edge of the world

We balance like the beam

Our breath turns into steam

We might be gone one day for sure

But all I ever wanted was

A whisper in my ear

Livin' easy, thinkin clear

A hand to hold when the time is near

Not wanting anymore

As we look out from the door

And that little light on that'll lead me back to shore

Back to shore

I'm back for sure
