All I Want Lyrics
When I close my eyes all I see are visions of you
And then I open my eyes, your absence holds me down
I try but I can't shake myself loose
I can't command my brain
All I do is shrink and think of one thing
I'm sitting alone beside me
I'm digging a hole inside myself
All I want in the world I think I've found
When I look into your eyes
All I know is that I'm tired of the world around me
Please, please
Please, don't ignore me...
Dedicated, here I am
Thinking of you with everything within me
I know you'll never feel me, never see me
Never know these thoughts of mine
But in my mind you're always there
Always smiling, always reaching out for me
The days don't warm with heartache
The days don't warm with emptiness
What I want is to somehow matter to you
Even if all else rejects me
All I know is that I'm hammered of the world around me
Please, please
Please, don't destroy me...
All I want in the world I think I've found
When I look into your eyes
All I know is that I'm tired of the world around me
Please, please
Please, don't ignore me...
I'd burn down time, modify a way to get through to you
I know I'm standing in line for handouts that'll never come
But still, I don't care!
Feeling like, looking like
They've confused everything
Pure is everything I am
Made out, wide eyed, exposed
Unable to forget you!
All I want is to somehow matter to you
Even all else rejects me
All I know is that I'm hammered of the world around me
Please, please
Please, don't destroy me...
And then I open my eyes, your absence holds me down
I try but I can't shake myself loose
All I do is shrink and think of one thing
I'm sitting alone beside me
I'm digging a hole inside myself
When I look into your eyes
All I know is that I'm tired of the world around me
Please, please
Please, don't ignore me...
Thinking of you with everything within me
I know you'll never feel me, never see me
Never know these thoughts of mine
Always smiling, always reaching out for me
The days don't warm with heartache
The days don't warm with emptiness
Even if all else rejects me
All I know is that I'm hammered of the world around me
Please, please
Please, don't destroy me...
When I look into your eyes
All I know is that I'm tired of the world around me
Please, please
Please, don't ignore me...
I know I'm standing in line for handouts that'll never come
But still, I don't care!
They've confused everything
Pure is everything I am
Made out, wide eyed, exposed
Unable to forget you!
Even all else rejects me
All I know is that I'm hammered of the world around me
Please, please
Please, don't destroy me...

I could have wrote this song. It is exactly where I am right now...Rollins writes a lot of insightful things.
For someone who is full of misanthropy, Rollins proves here that he knows what love is all about. To me, this is the simple, balls - out truth of how love between two people should be.
