LYRICS:
I can only say these things to you while you’re sleeping
I hear the hum from the wires, the sounds of the morning creeping
I lie awake and pretend you can hear me
You tell me that you’re scared that you’re turning into your mother
I feel myself turning into my father
We could lie to each other like they do and say we’re so happy
It’s easy when you’re young and you still want it so badly
And I feel my heart pounding
And I think I might scream...
I can tell you that you’re all I’ve ever wanted, dear
I can utter every word you’ve ever hoped to hear
I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever
In the night you whisper like a ghost and you look so shaken
You're so quiet and small and you tell me you want to be taken
I just never think of you as the kind of girl who would say that
And you suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp
Your eyes alight, your face aglow
It's the face of someone I don't know
I can tell that you’re all I’ve ever wanted, dear
I can utter every word you’ve ever hoped to hear
I shudder when I think I might not be here forever, forever, forever
And all I can think is that it must be a kind of rebellion
To arm your fears like soldiers and slay them
I can tell that you’re all I’ve ever wanted, dear
Through the din while you're breathing, while you're sleeping here
You wake and you ask me if I'm gonna be here forever, forever, forever
Your face so twisted and your eyes alight
I want to tell you I can change you when you cry at night
But I'd be lying
Love is defying

Music video by The Airborne Toxic Event performing All I Ever Wanted. (C) 2011 The Island Def Jam Music Group - Hudba
A breakup song that isn't about someone cheating or being a bad person, just about realizing you aren't in love anymore and struggling to accept it. Its about time someone wrote a song with that much thought.
I agree with most of what you said, but I don't think its best described as break up song -- which implies a short term relationship.
It seems more about a married couple that grows older, and both slowly realize they aren't very satisfied with each other, or their life, and they have no idea what to do about it..
lilb1190 if you watch the end of the video you can see their are putting on wedding rings
Herleen Sethi *They are. Not "Their" (possessive)
Herleen Sethi I speak four languages, so don't come back at me with some bullshit about ESL

I love how this song crescendos to its own unique finale rather than dwindle off blandly like so many others
One of the most brilliant bands making music today.
"Your face so twisted and your eyes alight I want to tell you I can change the way you cry at night, but I'd be lying."
That line hits like a train...
To arm your fears like soldiers and slay them. Brilliant lyrics!
Absolutely correct soldiers whether he or she picks up wounded souls along life's path an makes them feel wanted and needed those are what you call heroes even for just one day like David Bowie would sing about
Mikel explained the last line of this song in his Facebook Q & A recently, stating that love is defiant and even though it comes with ups & downs, you have to just say f**k it, I'm going to love this person anyway. That explains the hope at the end of the video.
Why are they so underrated?
Idiocracy is real
Anyone in 2019?
"your face so expressive and your eyes a lie I wanna tell you I can change them when you cry at night! But Id be lying! love is defying!!" So much love for this band!
Its your face so twisted but yeah
I meant to click on All I Ever Wanted by Basshunter, but I got lucky by clicking the wrong video
Another masterpiece, both song and video. I've known of this band for years, but just now starting to really dive into their music. (Shame on me for coming so late to the party!) The Airborne Toxic Event has to be one of he most underrated, underplayed, underappreciated bands of all time. Their often ironic, always intelligent and poignant lyrics delivered by Mikel's raw, pure, passionate voice produce an endless stream of chills and emotion in me, whether it is the first or one-thousand and first time I am listening to a song or watching a video. I truly feel like I don't have the proper words to describe the band and could never do it justice!
Same here. I’ve been aware of them forever, but only in the past few months have I really dove into their catalog. I was fortune enough to see them live last month and they were incredible.
I recently almost lost my life do to meningitis and still fighting the fight thanks to Airborne Toxic Event bring my spirits high enough to least bring a smile to my face one of my favorite bands I've ever heard thank you and good luck
Keep up the good fight. I almost lost the battle to it when I was 8 years old. Had it for a week before doctors diagnosed it. I had three strokes by then and woke up from the coma with right half of my body partially paralyzed. Full recovery was long and hard but can be done. Once the docs do what they can, its 100% attitude. Keep it up.
I appreciate your comments helps a lot I have two echildren four and five 33 years old and still fully disabled just had my 8th spinal tap on Monday looking forward to not looking forward to getting a shawn Don thank you for the comment I appreciate it I got spinal meningitis 2 years ago and it was misdiagnosed and now I'm living with the after effects for the rest of my life but as long as I'm on the side of the dirt I guess we're doing good rock on airborne
Damn straight this side of the dirt is right. As long as you can manage your pain and keep that shunt working the way it's supposed to. I know we are far apart but your my brother and I think of you more often then you know. Life keeps us way too busy to keep in contact as often as we would like sometimes. Just know I am always here. Love ya.
Shit man why you gotta make me cry.
The more I listen, the more I love.
This is one of my favorite songs ever.
"I could tell you that you are everything I’ve ever wanted, dear, through the dim of your breathing while you’re sleeping here. You wake and ask me if I’m gonna be here forever. You’re face is so twisted and your eyes are a light, I wanna tell you I can change it when you cry at night, but I’d be lying - love is defying"
probably the second best live show ive ever been too. they fucking killed it.
What was the best one? :)
They were married the whole time. They were pretending to be strangers and when they were done role playing they put their rings back on and went home, presumably. The song is based on the short story The Hitchhiking Game by Milan Kundera.
One person is not lost.
All I can say is I am thankful for people who are this talented and make such great music. I wish everyone could hear what what I hear from this band. They definitely deserve more recommendations and recognition.
one of my favorite song writers
Omg this band just makes me feel so ALIVE🤘🤘🤘🖤🖤🖤❤❤❤🤙🤙🤙
Love this song. So much poetry. Why ain't stuff like this more popular?
This is the type of music they should play on the radio.
Crazy. I found this band by the book 'Scotlandstreet' from Samantha Young and freakin love it haha bless you Samantha
salomè me too from the book and i like the book
This song is life.
They were just in Baltimore a while ago and due to children, job and finals, I could not go. I am so sorry that I missed this chance. This is my favorite band in a very long time. Smart, intelligent lyrics and misic played by REAL musicians. You just have to love this music!
One of my favourite songs ever.

God i love the airborne toxic event perfectly describes some strong emotions in the songs they make.

I've been hearing this song on the radio, but I just found it four days ago, Saturday morning (the radio never said the name of the song) In the past four days, I've probably listened to this song over 100 times. It's such a wonderful song.
i love this band so damn much! they make me sad, happy, inspired, and just everything.
too bloody awesome!
Saw them live back in June and it was amazing. This song is absolutely awesome!!

That was terrific!
I was half asleep when I heard this on the radio last night but I loved it so much even in that state that I saved it in my phone to remind myself to look it up today.
I've loved these guys since the first song I heard from them. They're so unique and have so much to offer that mainstream, regurgitated music.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
Awesome
Tears of joy
This band is so brilliant, one of the few bands whose music gives me goosebumps.
I'm lovin the replay button right now. Can't get enough of it!!!

Ah! I love them so much. I saw them live in SF. Soooo great :D
Even though I am satisfied with my life.. Every time I listen to this song. I feel like I am going to somehow do better. I don't know how.. I just am.
Saw their live performance of this song at Coachella this year on youtube, and I fell in love with the viola... And the girl, too
Love this song.
Heard this on the radio early this morning driving home. Love it.

This band is officially one of my favorite bands ever
I can't turn it up loud enough. This is a great song.

This is one of my favourite songs of all time. :)
Masterpiece!
SO MUCH TALENT RIGHT HERE
Just was at their Chicago Show. Incredible show, Incredible songs, Incredible lyrics. Have been a fan since seeing them a few years ago at Lollapalooza. It was very hot that day .. by the end of the set they were soaked in sweat. Soaked but still playing. Can't wait to see them again.
My all time favorite song from The Airborne Toxic Event...love these guys until the day I die
Phenomenal song. 4 minutes of heaven that I'm certain will inspire at least 1,000 words of prose. Damn good.
Looooove this song!
I love this.

All I ever wanted was to listen to this song over and over :)
This song is perfect.
