All I Want
Lyrics
the sun reflected in the back of my eye
I knocked my head against the sky
the dragonflies are busy buzzing me
seahorses if we were in the sea
halfway from coal, halfway to diamond.
my fall knocked a mean chip out of me.
I’m gathering as far as I can reach
we’re perched up on the precipice
and this is what I’ve seen
this is all I want it’s all I need
this is all I am it’s everything
this is all I want it’s all I need.
a bluejay hectors from the felled catalpa tree
doctorate in science and a theologian’s
dream
the dragonflies are trying to lecture me
seahorses if we were in the sea
this is all I want it’s all I need
this is all I am it’s everything
this is all I want it’s all I need.
beat a drum for me, like a butterfly wing
tropical storm across the ocean
but don’t explain, I’m sure I’ll want to know.
but don’t forget, we’re just halfway from coal
this is all I want it’s all I need
this is all I am it’s everything
this is all I want it’s all I need.
