[Verse 1]
It's all coming back to me
A whirlwind of uncertainty
There's pieces of some shattered gla**
But I can't act
Every time you talk to me
My tongue gets stuck between my teeth
I'll fight it 'til the bitter end
So I can send my apologies
'Cause they're as small as me
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was something certain
All I ever wanted was something that lasts more than overnight
When all I ever get is just temporary
Only so much that I can carry
So I just keep the highlights
Is that alright with you?
[Verse 2]
Comb over your blemishes
Expose the things you thought were dead
No gratitude, fall from grace
'Cause I'm your ace
I could not explain a thing
There's no wisdom that I can bring
Better to just file a claim
So I can blame my shortcomings amongst other things
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was something certain
All I ever wanted was something that lasts more than overnight
When all I ever get is just temporary
Only so much that I can carry
So I just keep the highlights
Is that alright with you?
[Bridge]
You, you, you, oh yeah, you
You, you, you, you, you, oh yeah, you
You
All I ever wanted was something certain
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was something certain
All I ever wanted was something that lasts more than overnight
When all I ever get is just temporary
Only so much that I can carry
So I just keep the highlights
Is that alright with you?
