All Our Lives

歌詞

I saw this old friend at the Eveleigh Bar They fed and treated him so well A heart so cold and words so blue In a body home from hell He said "If I could tell you one thing I would tell you this There's only one mistake that I have made It's giving up the music in my fingertips By trying to get to heaven through my veins." All our lives I watch you search beneath the falling skies This was no path to glory You always walk before me But you came back to warn me All our lives I saw this woman with tears in her eyes Driving beside me yesterday She turned her head then I turned mine And I watched her drive away I thought "If I could tell her something I would tell her this There's only two mistakes that I have made It's running from the people who could love me best And trying to fix a world that I can't change." All our lives I watch you search beneath the falling skies This was no path to glory You always walk before me But you came back to warn me All our lives All our lives I remember being young and staring at my hands In the middle of the night The first light of the morning A room like a church, voices down the hall Barely made 'em out but sometimes you don't want to know Now that I'm older I can tell you this The mornings I miss but I don't really miss the voices You've got a choice, I've got the hands Skeleton and plans you've got to let them go All our lives I watch you search beneath the falling skies All our lives I watch you search beneath the falling skies This was no path to glory You always walk before me But you came back to warn me All our lives All our lives I watch you search beneath the falling skies This was no path to glory You always walk before me But you came back to warn me All our lives
