All I Ever Wanted To Do

By Bruce Clifford 

I’m not used to running up stream

I can’t decide if I want a laser beam

I’m not the type to wake up mad

All I ever wanted to do was be in a band

I’m never quiet, but I’m not too loud

I never thought this would make any sounds

I’m not the type to get things out of my head

All I ever wanted to do was this instead 

I’m not crazy, I’m not going mad

You’re the best thing that i ever had

I’m not lost, but I’m never found

This whole world inside of me has turned upside down

I’m not used to running out of space

I can’t remember the lines on her face

I’m not the type to fall into the dark

All I ever wanted to do is be who we are
