All I Ever Wanted
Adrian Lux Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Leave my heart in overdrive
It's all I ever wanted
My eyes will break you in this time
It's all I ever wanted

The sea is restless now and i
I live right by the water
You say that it's alright my friend
You say that it's alright with words that soon will be forgotten
And you say that it's alright my friend

Leave my heart in overdrive
It's all I ever wanted
My eyes will break you in this time
It's all I ever wanted

The morning like a knife
Red skies here comes the final warning
I close my eyes to feel a pause it's beating
Yes it's beating
Yes it's beating
Yes it's beating
It's beating
It's beating
It's beating
Yes it's beating
It's beating

It's all I ever wanted

Leave my heart in overdrive
It's all I ever wanted
My eyes will break you in this time
It's all I ever wanted

I watch you sometimes take it in
And you always move too slowly




I dream your fingers on my skin
But my circuitry's exploding
