Released as a single in 1992, “All I Want” went on to become Toad’s biggest hit, reaching No. 15 in Billboard’s Hot 100.
The song’s resigned air clings to a feeling that once was or that hangs just beyond reach, seemingly either for society as a whole or a couple in a relationship.
[Verse 1]
Nothing's so loud
As hearing when we lie
Truth is not kind
And you've said neither am I
[Pre-Chorus]
And the air outside, so soft
Is saying everything
Everything
[Chorus]
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, feel it say
[Verse 2]
Nothing's so cold
As closing the heart when all we need
Is to free the soul
But we wouldn't be that brave, I know
[Pre-Chorus]
And the air outside, so soft
Confessing everything
Everything
[Chorus]
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, feel it say
[Bridge]
And it won't matter now
Whatever happens will be
Though the air speaks of all we'll never be
It won't trouble me
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, feel it say
[Outro]
And it feels so close (All I want is to feel this way)
Let it take me in (Be this close, feel the same)
Let it hold me so (All I want is to feel this way)
I can feel it say (Evening speaks, feel it say)
