everything i wanted
Bangles Feat. Susanna Hoffs Lyrics

You were standing like a statue in the light
You stood still and shining bright like a statue in the light

And it looked like just like perfection in my eyes
I viewed your stillness like the perfect thing in my sight

When I spoke I staggered from the flow
The words I said came out as stumbling and slow

Once I touched I never could let go, oh, oh, oh
Your touch was so captivating, I just couldn't let go

This is what I waited for
I yearned for this moment of closeness

So we whispered every secret we could tell
In secrecy, we shared all our secrets very well

And we painted lovely pictures on ourselves
We adorned ourselves with imagery, so beautiful like elves

Though we hid the parts we did not want to know
We kept hidden what we didn't want to reveal or show

As the strength of our illusions took control, oh, oh, oh
Our beliefs took control like magic, oh so bold

I never know if my heart tells lies
I wonder whether my heart deceives or speaks truth and cries

Caught in a feeling I just can't fight
Trapped in an emotion that won't let me out of its sight

Thirst like a warning too
My want for more feels like a looming alarm bell's whoop

Then come back around
It feels like it all comes full circle bound

Turn the clock back around
I wish I could rewind time, not to let the moment astound

Oh, oh, oh, oh
A cry from the heart, full of joy and sorrow

This is what I waited for
I had yearned for this moment forevermore

Oh, oh, oh
A cry of delight, of wonders galore

Everything I wanted
I got all that I had ever wanted and more

Oh, oh, oh
A cry of happiness, for all that's in store

Everything I wanted
I achieved everything that in the heart's core I had adored

Oh, oh, oh
A cry of triumph, a feeling untoward

Everything I wanted
I got all that I dreamt of, forever it's stored
