Eden Lyrics by Guster

Parachute

1994

[Verse 1: Adam Gardner/Gardner & Ryan Miller]
All I want is the world
And everything for me
You can rattle off your talk
All that matters is what I see

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, Both]
If you break me down (break me down)
Selfish desire (break me down)
Is all you'll blame
'Cause desperate times
Call for desperate measures
And I am not ashamed

[Chorus: Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, Both]
Oh it took me a long
Time to come to this
I have chosen that path
I am (I am)
I am me (I am only for me)

[Verse 2: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller]
All my dreams are so closed
If I open them to you
You can count them all as lies
You can believe me
Or you can believe the truth

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, Both]
If you break me down (break me down)
Selfish desire (break me down)
Is all you'll blame
'Cause desperate times
Call for desperate measures
And I am not ashamed

[Chorus: Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, Both]
Oh it took me a long
Time to come to this
I have chosen that path
I am (I am)
I am me (I am only for me)

[Hook: Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, Both]
But I could let you in
Put your feelings on the shelf
There's only room 'cause it helps myself
Oh I could let you in
But it's to no avail
I only listen 'cause it helps myself

[Chorus: Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, Both]
Oh it took me a long
Time to come to this
I have chosen that path
I am (I am)
I am me (I am only for me)

[Bridge: Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, Both]
I took a cane from a blind man
I tasted the fruit in the Garden of Eden
When I walk out of here
I know I'll stand clear
But the taste in my mouth still remains
Still remains

[Outro: Gardner & Miller]
Oh it took me a long time to come to this
Oh it took me a long time
I am, I am only for me

Oh it took me a long time to come to this
Oh it took me a long time
I am, I am only for me

Oh it took me a long time to come to this
Oh it took me a long time
