all we are.
why i continue failing my lit:
OneRepublic - All We Are lyrics
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 I could tear you apart but it won't break anything that you are, you are
We'll 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, our love is at a bind
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 is running ground
I could tear your apart, but it won't break anything that we are, we are
We'll 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, our love is at a bind
Every single day that I can breathe, you changed 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, our love is at a bind
so so part got prob... got few version of lyrics. some say: "We won't say our goodbyes you know it's better that way" then also: " All we need, all we need, a lover's alibi "
so my interpretation:
I tried to paint you a picture, the colors were all wrong
-i expect you to be like this, but i was wrong
Black and white didn't fit you
- you are more lively. what i expected was totally wrong, and it would not happen.
And all along, you were shaded with patience,
your strokes of everything that I need just to make it
- you were patient with me.... your little encouragement tide me through events
And I believe that I could tear you apart but it won't break anything that you are, you are
- you will still be you, no change in much of your doing, character...
We'll 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
- u're tired, then stop. don't continue then. life carry on. ur character will still be the same. it's a change. but everything will be so common that ppl get used to it.
All we are, all we are, is everything that's right
All we need, all we need, our love is at a bind /a lover alibi
-everything is still right, doing the proper job. "bind" should mean constipated / need someone else help.
I walked a minute in your shoes, they never would've fit
-could not live life the way you do. there is a difference.
I figured there's nothing to lose
- would not try to follow the way you did
I need to get some perspective on these words before I write them down
- common sense would help u understand it.
You're an island and my ship is running ground
-once u attracted me, now no longer.
Every single day that I can breathe, you changed my philosophy
I'm never gonna let you pass me by
- ok, you have the ability to change my mind, ideas... i'm not going to completely ignore you.
So don't say your goodbyes you know its better that way
- as much as it is now, it would still be nice if it was like the way it was before.
