All At Once lyrics
All At Once lyrics
All at once,
the world can overwhelm me.
There's almost nothing that you could tell me
that could ease my mind.
Which way will you run
when it's always all around you
and the feeling lost and found you again,
a feeling that we have no control?
Around the sun,
some say there's gonna be the new hell.
Some say it's still too early to tell.
Some say it really ain't no myth at all.
Keep asking ourselves,
are we really strong enough?
There's so many things that we got
too proud of,
we're too proud of,
we're too proud of.
I wanna take the preconceived
out from underneath your feet.
We could shake it off
and instead we'll plant some seeds.
We'll watch 'em as they grow
and with each new beat
from your heart, the roots grow deeper.
The branches, well, they reach for what?
Nobody really knows.
But underneath it all,
there's this heart all alone.
What about when it's gone?
It really won't be so long.
Sometimes it feels like a heart
is no place to be singin' from at all.
There's a world we've never seen,
there's still hope between the dreams.
The weight of it all
could blow away with a breeze.
If you're waitin' on the wind,
don't forget to breathe
'cause as the darkness gets deeper,
we'll sink and so we reach for love,
at least something we could hold.
But I'll reach to you from where time just can't go.
What about when it's gone?
Oh, it really won't be so long.
Sometimes it feels like a heart
is no place to be singin' from at all.
