All I Really Want Lyrics

Do I stress you out

 My sweater is on backwards and inside out

 And you say how appropriate

 I don't want to dissect everything today

 I don't mean to pick you apart you see

 But I can't help it

 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

 Do I wear you out

 You must wonder why I'm so relentless and all strung out

 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 am humbled by his humble nature

 What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate

 Someone else to catch this drift

 And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred

 Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute

 Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while

 The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses

 Falling all around...all around

 Why are you so petrified of silence

 Here can you handle this?

 

 Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines

 Or when you think you're gonna die

 Or did you long for the next distraction

 And all I need know is intellectual intercourse

 A soul to dig the hole much deeper

 And I have no concept of time other than it is flying

 If only I could kill the killer

 

 All I really want is some peace man

 a place to find a common ground

 And all I really want is a wavelength

 All I really want is some comfort

 A way to get my hands untied

 And all I really want is some justice...
