  • Think of me when you're out, when you're out there
    I'll beg you nice from my knees
    And when the world treats you way too fairly
    Well, it's a shame I'm a dream

    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you

    I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
    And fall asleep on the couch
    And wake up early to black-and-white reruns
    That escaped from my mouth (oh, oh)

    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you

    I could follow you to the beginning
    Just to relive the start
    And maybe then we'd remember to slow down
    At all of our favorite parts

    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you
    All I wanted was you Writer/s: Hayley Williams, Taylor York
