[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?
