All Our Lives

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 tryna 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 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 At the first light of the morning (Morning, morning, morning, morning) A room like a church Voices down the hall, I barely made 'em out, But sometimes you don't want to know (All our lives) And now that I'm older I can tell you this The mornings I miss But I don't really miss the voices (Voices, voices, voices, 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
