All I Wanted Lyrics

Think of me when you're out, when you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
When the world treats you way too fairly
It's a shame i'm a dream

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I think I'll pace my apartment a few...

    [Think of me when you're out, when you're out there] Remember me and what we had
    [I'll beg you nice from my knees] It means alot to me
    [And when the world treats you way too fairly] When you're life's going great and you stop to think about me,
    [Well it's a shame I'm a dream] It's too bad I'm gone

    All I wanted was you (pretty much explains itself)

    [I think I'll pace my apartment a few times] I don't really know what to do
    [And fall asleep on the couch] I think I'll get some sleep
    [Wake up early to black and white re-runs] I need some time alone, away from this mess
    [That escape from my mouth] I don't actually know... sorry >.< ... ((It didn't have to turn out like this))

    *Chorus*

    [I would follow you to the beginning] I would still go back with you to when we started out
    [Just to relive the start] Just to remember how beautiful it was
    [Maybe then we'd remember to slow down] Maybe this time we'll enjoy it while it lasts and not rush through
    [At all of our favorite parts]

    OVERALL: We had something amazing and then something happened that ruined it but I just want you to know all and all, this whole time and now... ALL I WANTED WAS YOU!!

    The song is self explanatory (sorry about spelling). The song is about a girl who liked a boy but he was just a friend but she wanted it to be more. And all she wanted was him.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    A very straightforward song about wanting someone - there's no compromise, you've either got them or you haven't... It goes on to describe the frustration of this, and also remenising about better times when you could just be happy for each other.
