All This Time
Chorus 1:
It's taken me all this time to see the sun
It's taken me all these roads to learn how to run
After the rain has washed away the stuff I thought I knew
All that's left to me is you
Verse1:
I've been sweeping around this room with a fine tooth broom
(Still don't have a clue)
I've been searching for signs of life
(Nothing's comin' through)
I've been flipping through pages full of golden rules
(A wealth of tiny truths)
Tripping over the same old things,
I thought I'd long since moved
Pre-chorus 1:
I believe in the helping hand, my fellow man
The fail-safe "love thy neighbor" plan
The promise, the creed, the other cheek,
So help me
I need to get to you
[Repeat chorus 1]
Verse 2:
You've been paving the way, making it straight
(The path has been cleared)
I've been a little hesitant
(But you still find me here)
You've been flooding my thoughts, now I'm breaking the locks
(Making my way through)
I can see to the other side
And I'm so glad it's you
Pre-chorus 2:
I believe in the one about reaching out,
Living loud and all my doubts
I believe in what I can't do it
I believe, I believe in you
Chorus 2:
It's taken me all this time to see the sun
It's taken me all these roads to learn how to run
After the rain has washed away the rust and residue
All that's left of me is you
Bridge:
I believe I can overcome
The things that have been left undone
I believe I have a place to go
Somehow I know I will get to you
Ad-lib:
(It's taken me all this time)
(All this time)
(It's taken me all this time to see the sun)
(All this time)
