lyrics

I’m not supposed to care
Or even know you’re there
But I wanted to be everything to you

Wasn’t supposed to see
Your tenderness for me
And I wanted to be everything to you

I walked that ledge the whole summer
Taking draughts of heady air, and trying not to boast
And trying, not too hard, not to fall
Now I’m on a pilgrimage
Journeying up the coast

You were supposed to know
Even when I didn’t say so
That I wanted to be everything to you

When you can’t resort to words
You hope your looks are being heard
They say I want to be everything to you

I walked that ledge the whole summer
Taking draughts of heady air, and trying not to boast
And trying, not too hard, not to fall
Now I’m on a pilgrimage
Journeying up the coast

So let it now be known
The phoenix has up and flown
That I wanted to be everything to you

May it never come to pass
The sun sets of seas of glass
Before I get to be everything to you

These visions I have seen
A sombre line snakes through the green
And I wanted to be everything to you

I wasn’t supposed to see
Your tenderness for me
And I wanted to be everything to you
