Lyrics


1.ALL I WANT IS EVERYTHING

I dont know how to leave you
And I dont know how to stay
Ive got things that I must tell you
That I dont know how to say

The man behind these empty words
Is crying out in shame
Holding on to this sinking ship
When nothing else remains

All I want is everything
Am I asking too much?

All I want is everything
Like the feel of your touch
But all I have are yesterdays
Tomorrow never comes

Its hard to hold your head up
When youre kneeling down to pray
And the talking dooesnt come easy now
When the words get in the way

And if you could see whats going on
Behind these private eyes
The truth would look so easy now
But Im running out of lies

You think the shadow of doubt
Is hangin over my head

Its just an angel whose wings hide the sun
And its myself I betray

I can not wish this away
Took my chance now the damage is done

All I want is everything
Am I asking too much?

All I want is everything
Like the feel, the feel of your touch
When all I have are yesterdays
Tomorrow never comes

Ooh, oooh
Ooh, oooh

2.WHEN SATURDAY COMES

Wind me up and see what I can do for you
Switch me on, I'd do anything you want me to

Let me go and I come ticking like a timebomb
Just call my name and I come running like a marathon

The magic and the mystery
Out here on this field of dreams

When Saturday comes
Nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes

You got to wear your heart on your sleeve
When Saturday comes
Nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes

The winner takes it all
So don't let me down, don't you let me down

Sweat and blood, You know I couldn't give y'any of this
Pain and pride, there ain't no room for second best

Clock strikes three and it's time to be the hero
D'you want to be a Blade, it's a feeling that you'll never know

You've got to fight it tooth and nail
Out here on this Battlefield

When Saturday comes
Nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes

You got to wear your heart on your sleeve
When Saturday comes
Nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes

The winner takes it all
So don't let me down, don't you let me down

The magic and the mystery
Out here on this field of dreams

When Saturday comes
Nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes

You got to wear your heart on your sleeve
When Saturday comes
Nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes

You got to wear your heart
You got to wear your heart

When Saturday comes
Nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes

You got to wear your heart on your sleeve
When Saturday comes
Nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes

You got to wear your heart
You got to wear your heart
When Saturday comes

4.ALL I WANT IS EVERYTHING (EDIT)

I don't know how to leave you
And I don't know how to stay

I've got things that I must tell you
That I don't know how to say

The man behind these empty words
Is crying out in shame

Holding on to this sinking ship
When nothing else remains

All I want is everything
Am I asking too much?

All I want is everything
Like the feel of your touch
But all I have are yesterdays
Tomorrow never comes

It's hard to hold your head up
When you're kneeling down to pray

And the talking dooesn't come easy now
When the words get in the way
And if you could see what's going on
Behind these private eyes

The truth would look so easy now
But I'm running out of lies

You think the shadow of doubt
Is hangin' over my head

It's just an angel whose wings hide the sun
And it's myself I betray

I can not wish this away
Took my chance now the damage is done

All I want is everything
Am I asking too much?
All I want is everything

Like the feel, the feel of your touch
When all I have are yesterdays
Tomorrow never comes

Ooh, oooh
Ooh, oooh
