All We Are - OneRepublic

I wasn't lying before when I said that my iTunes/iPod/iPhone is eerily psychic sometimes.  Case in point, I'm currently feeling extremely tired (probably my narcolepsy acting up!), and slightly frustrated.  You know that feeling you get when you're working so hard on something but it just doesn't want to come together?  That's me right now and it really doesn't help that I've got so many projects on the go.  So in an effort to get me into the right mood for writing and maybe get to bed at a decent time, I hit shuffle and left it up to the music gods to set me on my way.  The song?  All We Are by OneRepublic; song/mood matching perfection.  Sometimes all you need is a little nudge to get you heading back in the right direction. 




"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 believe that...
Time can tear you apart
But it won't break anything that you are, you are

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
