All Our Lives Lyrics & Tabs by Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness
All Our Lives
guitar chords lyrics
I saw this old friend at the Eveleigh bar
Life hadn't 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 watched you search beneath the fallen skies
This was no path to glory, you always walked before me,
But you came back to warn me
All our lives
I saw this woman with tears in her eyes
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
Then 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 watched you search beneath the fallen skies
This was no path to glory, you always walked 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
Room like a church, voices down the hall
Barely made 'em out, but sometimes you don't want to know
And 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
Skeletons and plans, you've got to let 'em go
All our lives,
I watched you search beneath the falling skies
All our lives,
I watched you search beneath the falling skies
This was no path to glory, you always walked before me,
But you came back to warn me,
All our lives
All our lives,
I watched you search beneath the falling skies
This was no path to glory, you always walked before me,
But you came back to warn me,
All our lives
