All I Ever Wanted Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was born on a Saturday
My dad, he held me screaming in his arms
And he can talk like it was yesterday
When I got that holy water in my eye
[Pre-Chorus]
It's alright, is it just alright?
See all those faces coming down
I'm trying not to let them down this time
Babe, is that alright?
Well, I can still see the sun on the water
I can still feel your sunlight
[Chorus]
And all I ever wanted was time
You know that all I ever wanted was time
[Verse 2]
And I know that I come on strong
Forgive me, I just couldn't help myself
And I have changed, but I'm better now
And I see you in this new and perfect light
[Pre-Chorus]
You're so fine, you're oh so fine
See all those faces coming down
I'm trying not to let them down this time
Babe, is that alright?
Well, I can still see the sun on the water
I can still feel your sunlight
I was born on a Saturday
My dad, he held me screaming in his arms
And he can talk like it was yesterday
When I got that holy water in my eye
[Pre-Chorus]
It's alright, is it just alright?
See all those faces coming down
I'm trying not to let them down this time
Babe, is that alright?
Well, I can still see the sun on the water
I can still feel your sunlight
[Chorus]
And all I ever wanted was time
You know that all I ever wanted was time
[Verse 2]
And I know that I come on strong
Forgive me, I just couldn't help myself
And I have changed, but I'm better now
And I see you in this new and perfect light
[Pre-Chorus]
You're so fine, you're oh so fine
See all those faces coming down
I'm trying not to let them down this time
Babe, is that alright?
Well, I can still see the sun on the water
I can still feel your sunlight
[Chorus]
And all I ever wanted was time
You know that all I ever wanted was time
You know that all I ever wanted was time

What did Vance Joy say about "All I Ever Wanted"?
Genius Answer
Vance Joy via TheMusic.com.au:
This one started after a coffee with my bass player Jono. He showed me some cool music with strange lyrics – I can’t remember the songs, but I got home inspired to write. My friend Dan told me about a film where a child is christened and gets holy water in his eye.
