"All I Really Want" lyrics
(from "Mile End Kicks" soundtrack)
Do I stress you out?
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say, "How appropriate"
I don't wanna dissect everything today
I don't wanna pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter
And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Ah
Do I wear you out?
You wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
And I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I'm humbled by his humble nature
And what I wouldn't give to find a soul mate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred?
Ah
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflict, the craziness, and the sound of pretense is falling
All around
All around
Why are you so petrified of silence?
Here, can you handle this?
Did you think about your bills, you ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're going to die?
Or did you long for the next distraction?
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than that it's flying
If only I could kill the killer
And all I really want is some peace, man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
Ah
And all I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice
Ah
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say, "How appropriate"
I don't wanna dissect everything today
I don't wanna pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter
And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Ah
Do I wear you out?
You wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
And I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I'm humbled by his humble nature
And what I wouldn't give to find a soul mate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred?
Ah
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflict, the craziness, and the sound of pretense is falling
All around
All around
Why are you so petrified of silence?
Here, can you handle this?
Did you think about your bills, you ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're going to die?
Or did you long for the next distraction?
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than that it's flying
If only I could kill the killer
And all I really want is some peace, man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
Ah
And all I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice
Ah
