all i want

pull me up

off of the pavement

dilated eyes and the blue sunrise

no

that can't be me

i must be mistaken

i've been an angel my whole life

how well do you know yourself?

how clear without the mirror of someone else

'cuz sometimes my shadow gets the best of me

a black

black so pitch that i cannot breathe

and i cannot speak and i cannot hide

i guess you can't be free of what you keep inside

well

how well do you know your limits

the deeper the dream

the longer you're in it

maybe if i had a little more money

maybe if i had a little more sex

maybe with a little peace and quiet

maybe i could make a little more sense of it

all that i want

all that i want

the river of cars keeps flowing

all i can see is what's in front of me

uh

this isn't where i thought i was going

this isn't who i thought i would be

met a man in a cab today

moved here from across the ocean someplace

where his family waits but he's all alone

to drive a cab all day and send it all back home

a woman felt bad and he flashed his eyes

and i could hear the joy in his voice

it was like there was nowhere in the world that he'd rather be

than here in a cab

driving me

maybe if i went out less on the weekend

maybe if i just didn't exist

maybe if i was straight

maybe if i was vegan

maybe if i still had you to kiss

all that i want

all that i want

all that i want

all that i want

i am my own sanctuary

i am my own hero

i am my own teacher

i am my own best friend

i am my own friday night

i am my own love of my life

i am my own way out

i am my own sanctuary

i am my own sanctuary

maybe if i had a little more money

maybe if i had a little more sex

maybe with a little peace and quiet

maybe i could make a little more sense of it

all that i want

all that i want

all that i want

all that i want
