Lyrics
I walked across the wire
I faced a difficult situation or challenge
Straight to the razor's edge for you
I took significant risks for you
Cut through my own desires
I sacrificed my own wants and wishes
Only to watch you hold her
Only to witness you in the company of another person
Don't you know
Expressing surprise or disbelief
I tried to call
I made an effort to communicate with you
But can I stay the night?
Asking for permission to stay overnight
You whisper "one more time"
You suggest a repeat of the past
Turning my tears into diamonds that fall through your sky
Transforming my sadness into something valuable for you
And after all that you promised
Reference to unfulfilled promises made by you
All I ever wanted was you
Expressing a desire for a specific person
And now I know we both got our obligations
Acknowledging mutual responsibilities or commitments
All I ever wanted was you
Reiterating the primary desire for a particular person
I dreamt that we were fallin'
Describing a dream of falling, possibly reflecting a failed relationship
But it was just a pouring rain
Realizing it was just a metaphorical storm, not a real issue
No heat worth holding onto
No valuable connection worth preserving
So I grabbed my shit to leave again
Deciding to leave abruptly
Don't you know
Expressing surprise or disbelief again
I tried to call
I made an effort to communicate again
But can I stay the night?
Asking for permission to stay overnight again
You whisper "one more time"
You suggest a repeat of the past again
Turning my tears into diamonds that fall through your sky
Transforming my sadness into something valuable for you again
And after all that you promised
Reference to unfulfilled promises made by you again
All I ever wanted was you
Expressing a desire for a specific person again
And now I know we both got our obligations
Acknowledging mutual responsibilities or commitments again
All I ever wanted was you
Reiterating the primary desire for a particular person again
And yes, I know you promised her everything but
Acknowledging that promises were made to someone else
All I ever wanted was you
Despite promises made to someone else, the desire remains
And yes, I know that you promised her everything but
-I can't wait too lon-lon-long on you, my baby
Impatience regarding waiting for you
All I ever wanted was you
Expressing a consistent desire for a specific person
And now I know that we'll never have the conversation
Acknowledging the lack of meaningful communication
All I ever wanted was you
Reiterating the primary desire for a particular person
I know you promised her everything but, baby
Acknowledging promises made to someone else, emphasizing the desire
All I ever wanted was you (ooh yeah)
Reaffirming the primary desire for a particular person
(All I ever wanted was you)
Repetition of the desire for a specific person
(All I ever wanted was you)
-(All I ever wanted was you)
-(All I ever wanted was you)
