All I Want

Album: What Separates Me from You (2010)

  • I'm always screamin' my lungs out 'til my head starts spinnin'
    Playin' my songs is the way I cope with life
    Won't keep my voice down
    Know the words I speak are the thoughts I think out loud
    I like to keep things honest
    I'm a safe bet like your life's staked on it, for real
    I'd hate to keep you all wonderin'
    I'm constant like the seasons, I will never be forgotten, man

    Let's leave no words unspoken
    And save regrets for the broken
    Will you even look back when you think of me?

    All I want is a place to call my own
    To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
    Whoa, you know
    To keep your hopes up high and your head down low
    Keep your hopes up high and your head down low

    Still got something left to prove, it tends to keep things movin'
    While everyone around me says my last days are looming overhead
    But just what the hell do they think they know?
    My head's above the water while they drown in the undertow

    Let's leave no words unspoken
    And save regrets for the broken
    Will you even look back when you think of me?

    All I want is a place to call my own
    To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
    Whoa, you know
    To keep your hopes up high and your head down low
    All I want is a place to call my own
    To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
    Whoa, you know
    To keep your hopes up high and your head down low

    If you take it from me
    Live your life for yourself
    'Cause when it's all said and done
    You don't need anyone else, come on

    So let's get back to when everything seemed perfect
    Not a worry in the world, tell me, was it all worth it?
    I get what I want, so everyone's always judgin' me
    Not afraid of anything, I've got the whole world in front of me

    All I want is a place to call my own
    To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
    Whoa, you know
    To keep your hopes up high and your head down low
    All I want is a place to call my own
    To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
    Whoa, you know
    To keep your hopes up high and your head down low

    Keep your head down low
    Keep your head down low
    Keep your hopes up high and your head down low Writer/s: Alexander Thomas Shelnutt, Jeremy Wade McKinnon, Joshua Steven Woodard, Kevin Patrick Skaff, Neil S. Westfall
