All Our Lives

Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

I saw this old friend at the Eveleigh bar Life hadn't treated him so well A heart so gold, 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 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 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 remember being young and staring at my hands In the middle of the night, the first light of the morning My room like a church, voices down the hall I 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 Skeletons and plans, you've got to let 'em go All our lives I watched you search beneath the fallen skies 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 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 - Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness
