It's Because I Live in a Dream
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Vertical Horizon
"Everything You Want"
Leaving math class today I found myself singing that old Vertical Horizon single, "Everything You Want". It wasn't an aria or anything, just a few lines from the end of the chorus (hopefully no one heard me). And being the sap that I am, I thought to myself, "Hey, I feel the same way." Not about any particular woman, but towards everyone; I try and try to get people to love me, but I never seem to get anywhere. And this isn't because life is cruel or random. There are (mostly) happy people, and there are (mostly) sad people, and I'm sure I share traits with both groups. I firmly believe there are real, good reasons for my plight in life. Yet like the guy in the song, I have no idea what they are - "I don't know why."
But if one, turning towards the window should say,
"You dolt! I do love you. I've told you, many many times. I hold you, I long for you, I seek you out. You mean everything to me. Don't you believe me?"
...OK. Yeah, I believe you. I mean something to you...
"Everything."
Right. So...um...why is it that you mean nothing to me?
I am everything you need
