Think of me when you're out, when you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
And when the world treats you way too fairly
Well, it's a shame I'm a dream

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
And wake up early to black-and-white reruns
That escaped from my mouth (oh, oh)

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning
Just to relive the start
And maybe then we'd remember to slow down
At all of our favorite parts

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

    i.love.this.song. ^__^

    Think of me when you're out When you're out there I'll beg you nice from my knees -because she thinks of him all the time, shes hoping he thinks of her all the time too(when you’re out there/ when you’re out living without me) she begging him, but she doesn’t want to seem pushy, shes quiet because shes scared of being hurt/rejected. And when the world treats you way too fairly Well, it's a shame I'm a dream -when it says about the world treating him fairly i think she means as in ‘payback’ for things he’s done to her, she feel like shes not real to him, shes like a dream and its a shame because she loves him so much but he cant see it.

    All I wanted was you All I wanted was you

    • all she wanted was you, nothing else, just to feel wanted by him as much as she wanted him.

    I think I'll pace my apartment a few times And fall asleep on the couch -she has nothing better to do than spend her days waiting till she sees him next, sleeping makes time pass quicker. And wake up early to black and white reruns That escape from my mouth -when she wakes up she rethinks about everything shes ever said to him and everything hes said to her.

    I could follow you to the beginning Just to relive the start Maybe then we'd remember to slow down At all of our favourite parts -thing with their relationship have changed and she wants to go back to the start with him when they forst met and everything felt better, she’d then slow down all the good times and cherish the memories they talk about now instead of making new ones.

    All I wanted was you All I wanted was you All I wanted was you All I wanted was you All I wanted was you

    • shes screaming at him, she’s at a point when its annoying for him not to feel the same towards her.
