All For Myself

Sufjan Stevens · The Age of Adz [2010]

To bare it down to be in flight, to bare it down to be in flight

It wasn't about me it was only a stone in my shoe

Then worries came to perch on us

Impatience and a painted bust

I kept you close to me close to my ear



We set out once with folded shirts, with hairy chest and well rehearsed

I want it all, I want it all for myself

I'll set it right between your eyes

Your shoulder blades, your running knife

I want it all, I want it all for myself



Improving all the time, I am

Improving as I kiss the hem

I promise I won't be a trouble at all

For I'm okay, I'm in the red

Impressions of the unmade bed

You cradled close to me, close to my ear



We set out once forget our shirts with hairy chests and well rehearsed

I want it all I want it all for myself

Out in the earth I smell of you

Of bathing boy, amazing you

I want it all, I want it all for myself
