Everything by Eleanor Friedberger Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All my life I wanted everything
I won't settle and I won't think twice about anything
Time will tell who's right about everything
Who cares what you think is mine?
I wanted everything

[Verse 2]
She could dream up a life with everything
(Everything, everything)
A man in Greece, a girlfriend in Italy
It's anything
(Nothing or everything)
The palm reader said she'd have three
That's everything
(Everything, everything)
Be a film star and keep her integrity
It's anything
(Nothing or everything)

[Chorus]
She was nothing for you
And everything too
She'd take to the streets and stay at home
It's true, so true
[Bridge]
Who's got everything
And something to say?
I want everything to go my way

[Verse 2]
A house, a chair and a rug
That's everything
(Everything, everything)
I mean two houses, please
I wanted everything
(Nothing or everything)
A life that's quiet and nice
I wanted everything
(Everything, everything)
But I'm going away anytime I like
I wanted everything
(Nothing or everything)

[Chorus]
She was nothing for you
And everything too
She'd take to the streets and stay at home
It's true, so true
