All I See

I thought it was done when I packed my bags and walked into the light

I picked the books I thought I should and closed the door behind

And when I handed back the keys I thought that I was free

No shame no dirt no surprises wait for me

I want to believe where I began is not where I'll always be

You're all I see and I carry you with me

You're all I see and I carry you with me

Thought it was safe to assume once I locked up the room

That I'd be gone for good but I would be back soon

Memories burned out still I'm smelling the fumes

Melodies turned down still I'm singing the tunes

Like a witch on a broom I wish I could fly fly away

Disappear into the ether find a hideaway

But the memories invade when I lie awake

Can't hide from yourself is what I'm trying to say

And by the way what would I be without my past

Only find the right number when I doubt my math

Avoid blunders only after I recount my last

Setbacks that don't kill me just amount to laughs

Anyway if I could turn back the hands of time

Would I change the events or change my mind

Wouldn't recognise myself without my doubts and fears

Got a feeling all I need is all right here

You're all I see and I carry you with me

You're all I see and I carry you with me

I've been told apples don't fall far from the tree

I hope they're wrong when they're talking about me

All I see are the ruins of a plan gone wrong

All I need is a reason to keep on and stay strong

Gotta couple old ghosts that won't leave me alone

Even after moving three thousand miles from home

Thought I shook 'em when I hit Brooklyn wasn't even looking

But they're putting their mark on everything I do

Find a few quiet moments and they creep back through

Infiltrated my dreams and held my sleep back too

I don't know where I could go without them following me

It seems everywhere I look they're all I see

You're all I need

You're all I need

You're all I see and I carry you with me

You're all I see and I carry you with me
