Everything you want

When I was about twelve years old I spent most of my time watching AMVs and dreaming about tLOtR and Final Fantasy. I didn't have much else to do. I dreamed and I dreamed and I dreamed and I dreamed and I would wish myself away to all of those worlds and pretend. This is one of the AMVs I watched back then, I actually found the exact video on youtube (the power of the internetz, folks), which was a pretty big treat for me... Tried listening to this song again for the first time in years (was a few weeks ago), and I just had to dig up that video. I've never heard anything else by Vertical Horizon, but I so love this song, it's beautiful and cool and just soothing for my ears. I still see the video inside of my head whenever I hear it... Great lyrics, too, even if they're really simple. They're just right.

somewhere they're 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

but 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

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

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

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 know this

but you still hide away the

anger of angels who won't return

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

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
