Everything Lyrics by Paula Kelley

Nothing / Everything

2001

[Chorus 1]
Everything I wanted had a way of slipping by
Everything I wanted but a riddle for my life
Oh, it's good to feed your ever-raging light
[Verse 1]
Settle down, who is the clown that's always dreading things you recall?
Your head is inside out from this assault
How, ground breaker, if you could shake her
A saviour you'd turn out to be
'Cause everything I wanted seemed invisible to me
[Chorus 2]
Everything I wanted was a way of getting by (ba, ba)
Everything I wanted I was so afraid to try
Oh, my peace of mind
It's getting much harder for me to unwind
[Chorus 1]
Everything I wanted had a way of slipping by (ba, ba)
Everything I wanted but a riddle for my life
Oh, it's good to feed your ever-raging light
[Verse 2]
Why is it always [?] who gets me to see?
The worst that I can be, it seems so cruel
How matchmaker, your big mistake
Your maker she turned out to be
'Cause everything I wanted seemed invincible to me
[Chorus 2]
(Ba, ba)
Everything I wanted was a way of getting by (ba, ba)
Everything I wanted I was so afraid to try
Oh, my peace of mind
It's getting much harder for me to unwind
[Chorus 1]
(Ba, ba)
Everything I wanted had a way of slipping by (ba, ba)
Everything I wanted but a riddle for my life
Oh, it's good to feed your ever-raging...
[Bridge]
I try to carry on
But it's a struggle to wait so long
I'm damned to be so wrong
I see my face and hope my rage is gone
[Chorus 2]
Everything I wanted was a way of getting by
Everything I wanted I was so afraid to try
Oh, my peace of mind
It's getting much harder for me to unwind
[Chorus 1]
Everything I wanted had a way of slipping by
Everything I wanted but a riddle for my life
Oh, it's good to feed your ever-raging light
Oh, it's good to feed your ever-raging light
