Lyrics
When Everything I Want is You
© 2006 Kaplan
The light comes through
And I’m awake before you are
Still well-tucked
As you were when much younger
This cloth fed your hunger
If words fall and this ink did run
Trace the shape of your perfection
In the morning sun
The moment you wake up is the
Moment I rise
And the moment I see is when you
Open your eyes
Watching you sleep in our bed
Your love is like a dream
Caught in my head
Watching you breathe in our air
Your love is like a song
Caught in my ear
It’s what I hear
When everything I want is you
I kiss your lids
Your last dream scatters
Let you return
We’re as far from the week as
We’re bound to get
If paint flows and this etch did burn
Kiss the shape of your perfection
At every turn
The moment you wake up is the
Moment I rise
And the moment I see is when you
Open your eyes
Watching you sleep in our bed
Your love is like a dream
Caught in my head
Watching you breathe in our air
Your love is like a song
Caught in my ear
It’s what I hear
When everything I want is you
I don’t want my love to bring you through before you arrive
But the waiting is rough,
And I’ve missed you all night
Watching you sleep in our bed
Your love is like a dream
Caught in my head
Watching you breathe in our air
Your love is like a song
Caught in my ear
It’s all I hear
When everything I want is you
