  • A hand upon my forehead, the joking and the laugh
    Waking up in your arms, a place to call my own

    This is all I ever wanted from life, this is all I ever wanted from life
    This is all I ever wanted from life

    Ireland in the World Cup either North or South
    The fan club on the jukebox, the birds and yes the bees

    This is all I ever wanted from life, this is all I ever wanted from life
    This is all I ever wanted from life

    Words of reassurance but only if they're true
    Just some simple kindness, no vengeance from the gods

    This is all I ever wanted from life, this is all I ever wanted from life
    This is all I ever wanted from life

    To share what I've been given, some kids eventually
    And be for them what I've had, a father like my dad

    This is all I ever wanted from life, this is all I ever wanted from life
    This is all I ever wanted from life

    This is all I ever wanted from life, this is all I ever wanted from life
    This is all I ever wanted from life Writer/s: GARRET JACKNIFE LEE, GARY LIGHTBODY, JONATHAN GRAHAM QUINN, NATHAN CONNOLLY, PAUL WILSON, TOM SIMPSON
