Scrawled on my arms are words that flow in my veins,
Their messy meanings hushed like the summer rains
And whispering faded poetry as I lay,
I'm just wasting ink on the words you'll never say

When all I wanted was you

Dandelion wishes linger through the warm air,
Fireflies speak of your love as a dangerous affair
Wishing wells echo with an empty saltwater sea,
Reflecting how hollow and vacant you left me

When all I wanted was you

Pull me down a star, twined with silver thread
And stitch it with fragile promises so mislead
Look up and away to the new awaking dawn,
Call it a mistake and simply move on

When all I wanted was you

Burning the polaroid photos I never wish to exist
Bringing dreams of you I try so hard to resist
Admitted my defeat through pretty words and rhyme,
For the simple hope you'd save me just in time

When all I wanted was you

Love that's gone and love's that still mine,
I know the distinction between that line
And this adventure I still do rue,
Because all I ever wanted was You.
