ONEREPUBLIC LYRICS - All We Are

"All We Are"



I tried to paint you a picture, the colors were all wrong

Black and white didn't fit you and all along,

you were shaded with patience, your strokes of everything

That I need just to make it, and I can see that...

Lord knows I've failed you, time and again

But you and me are all right



We won't say our goodbyes you know it's better that way

We won't break, we won't die

It's just a moment of change

All we are, all we are, is everything that's right

All we need, all we need, a lover's alibi



I walked a minute in your shoes, they never would've fit

I figured there's nothing to lose

I need to get some perspective on these words before I write them down

You're an island and my ship has run aground

Lord knows I'll fail you time and again,

But you and me we're alright



We won't say our goodbyes you know its better that way

We won't break, we won't die

It's just a moment of change

All we are, all we are, is everything that's right

All we need all we need, a lover's alibi



Every single day that I can breathe, you change my philosophy

I'm never gonna let you pass me by

So don't say your goodbyes you know its better that way

We won't break, we won't die

It's just a moment of change [x2]



All we are, all we are, is everything that's right

All we need, all we need, a lover's alibi



So don't say our goodbyes you know its better

We won't break, we won't die
