All You Want Lyrics

I'd like to watch you sleep at night
To hear you breathe by my side.

    First verse
    It tells the story of an ordinary, heterosexual couple. The narrator is a girl, she wakes up in an empty bed and wishes her boyfriend came back. The first chorus ("all you want is right here in this room") refers to her.

    Second verse
    The narrator reveals that they have been together for 3 years, but the boy had a one-night stand. She is pregnant ("if those seeds had not been sown") and still wishes he came back. In between, the narrator has not told her (now) former boyfriend that she is expecting their child ("you could come home and you would know").

    Last verse
    With regret, the narrator is convinced that her boyfriend will not come back, because he left her for another girl ("send my regards to her"). She will probably raise her child alone. The last chorus ("all you want is right there in that room") refers to the boy's new girlfriend.
