All Our Lives

All Our Lives - Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

Written by：Andrew McMahon/Andrew Goldstein/Brian Lee

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
