Guster - Eden lyrics

All I want is the world
And everything for me
You can rattle off your talk
All that matters is what I see

If you break me down (break me down)
Selfish desire (break me down)
Is all you'll blame 'Cause desperate times
Call for desperate measures
And I am not ashamed

Oh it took me a long time to come to this
I have chosen that path i am (I am)
I am me (I am only for me)

All my dreams are so closed
If I open them to you
You can count them all as lies
You can believe me
Or you can believe the truth

If you break me down (break me down)
Selfish desire (break me down)
Is all you'll blame 'Cause desperate times
Call for desperate measures
And I am not ashamed

Oh it took me a long time to come to this
I have chosen that path i am (I am)
I am me (I am only for me)

But I could let you in
Put your feelings on the shelf
There's only room 'cause it helps myself
Oh I could let you in but it's to no avail
I only listen 'cause it helps myself

Oh it took me a long time to come to this
I have chosen that path i am (I am)
I am me (I am only for me)

I took a cane from a blind man
I tasted the fruit in the Garden of Eden
When I walk out of here
I know I'll stand clear
But the taste in my mouth still remains
Still remains

Oh it took me a long time to come to this
Oh it took me a long time
I am, I am only for me

Oh it took me a long time to come to this
Oh it took me a long time
I am, I am only for me

Oh it took me a long time to come to this
Oh it took me a long time
