"Want Too Much"

I want too much and I want you
When I hope I woke, I want too much
When you try to save yourself
And I hope you don't, I want too much

In dreams I fly above the barn
With goats and violins, I want too much
The palest girl raises her arms
Waving from the fence, I want too much

And even now, even now, even now
I want no more and I want too much

I want the lost forgotten miles
To swallow up your street, I want too much
Raining smoke and dandelions
And silver at my feet, I want too much

But I want the phantom at the door
To put his hand in mine and I want too much
I want you to pull me down
And cover me with vines, I want too much

And even now, even now, even now
I want no more and I want too much
I want too much

Your kiss left me a bloodied mess
And a trail behind, I want too much
And if you fall then I confess
Better you this time and I want too much

And even now, even now, even now
I want no more, I want no more
And even now, even now
I want no more and I want too much

I want too much
I want too much
And I want too much
