All I Want is You Lyrics
"All I Want Is You"
Delirious
Did I tell you it was wine when really it was water?
I walked upon the wine, it went to my head, and I faltered
I've tried to heal your bones, I've tried to tell your future
Maybe I should just call up my friends and, play some music
Be myself, yeah
Well, I've been thinking about
What I didn't say
To climb my way down this ladder
Keep me from flying away
Well, if there's a preacher here
Come on, will you preach the truth?
I want to know more about Jesus
Yes I do
Chorus:
All I want is you
All I want is you now
All I want is you
All I want is you
Did I tell you it was fine, to come and question nothing?
To look upon the sign as the answer to it all
Oh, why do I feel poor?
Why do I feel nervous?
I think it's time, to put on my God shoes
And do what I'm here for
Raise the flag again
[Chorus 2x]
Can I be free, from the chains of my religion?
They wrap around my head and they blind my eyes of faith
And I feel dangerous cause I hunger for the truth
This tightrope's swinging high
No turning back, teach me to fly
[Chorus Several Times]
this song is about badgers growing beards and becoming romantically interested in rabbits glaases
It's disappointing that there are no relevant comments about the meaning of this song.
By the way the lyrics above are not wholly correct.
"Well, I've been thinking about What I didn't say"
should be
Well, I've been thinking about What I "do and" say.
Sort of changes things abit. No one out there cares to attemp to take a crack at the meaning of this song?
U2 makes better sense out of the same song name.
I LOOOOOOOVE All I Want Is You by U2.... delirious did a cover of it actually. BUT this is a different song!
I think it's about how "religion" has kept us from the real point of the faith: to know and love Jesus Christ. We believe everything those who call themselves preachers tell us, without figuring it out for ourselves and becoming closer to God. I love these lines:
Can I be free, from the chains of my religion? They wrap around my head and they blind my eyes of faith And I feel dangerous cause I hunger for the truth This tightrope's swinging high No turning back, teach me to fly
We can get caught up walking the tightrope of religious doctrine, or we can jump off and work to what christianity really is. That's kinda what I think it means....
** Jars of Clay did the cover, whoops XD
