Everything I've Ever Wanted
To me it was the day I had everything I ever wanted and didn't know what to do with it all.
For you it was the day when all you ever wanted wanted something else.
For everyone else it was two people who had everything they could ever wish for and didn't
realize it.
I'm realizing now
But that sound I heard last night
was the sonic boom of everything I ever wanted sprinting away faster than the speed of sound
And maybe that's why I can't speak to you
Because my words will always be too slow.
And you'll always be running.
I guess I'll always be chasing too. Because when everything you've ever wanted runs away
faster than the speed of sound
You'll chase it, that's for sure.
But catching up is near impossible.
