Lyrics

All The Things

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I have the weight of the world on my chest

Well sometimes it feels that way

For real when my minds at its best I still feel afraid

Light turns to dark and my tears turn to ice

As I turn to my lover and thinking I'm right

I tell only the truth every last little thing that I knew

All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't do

From the start I moved Heaven and Earth

Just to take you to dinner and boy was that worth all the years

That would follow us around and around and around

And all of that spinnin' I know now

How I didn't know what I needed to know

I bury my feelings down deep where my heart never goes

All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't know

So what began as a fairy tale

We know became very real scary, and at times too much

But we'd held it together and we doubled down on our luck

For all of the times I counted the lines in your hair

As you slept by my side

I'm sure that you cried and you cried and you cried, so did I

All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't try

Off in the distance I see you once more

We laugh at the stories we cried to before

I'll tell you where I've been, you'll tell me how you've been

We'll laugh we'll laugh again

The story will go

The story of how the end came to be

How you became you, how I became me

How we became lovers, how we became friends

Sisters and brothers, beginning to end

It's four in the morning

I'm telling this story about what you taught me of love

They hear what I'm saying but no way they know what I know

I know I'll take you with me everywhere I take my body and soul

I'll take others too but not one anymore than you

All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't do

All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't do
