0:11I saw this old friend at the eveleigh bar
0:15Life hadn't treated him so well
0:19A heart so gold and words so blue
0:23In a body home from hell
0:27He said if I could tell you one thing I would tell you this
0:32There's only one mistake that I have made
0:36It's giving up the music in my fingertips
0:41By trying to get to heaven through my veins
0:46All our lives
0:48I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
0:53This was no path to glory
0:55You always walked before me
0:57But you came back to warn me
0:59All our lives
1:04I saw this woman with tears in her eyes
1:08Driving beside me yesterday
1:13She turned her head then I turned mine
1:16And I watched her drive away
1:20I thought if I could tell her something I would tell her this
1:25There's only two mistakes that I have made
1:30It's running from the people who could love me best
1:34And trying to fix a world that I can't change
1:39All our lives
1:42I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
1:46This was no path to glory
1:48You always walked before me
1:50But you came back to warn me
1:52All our lives
2:06I remember being young and staring at my hands
2:08In the middle of the night the first light of the morning
2:14My room like a church voices down the hall
2:17I barely made em out but sometimes you don't want to know
2:23Now that I'm older I can tell you this
2:25The mornings I miss but I don't really miss the voices
2:32You've got a choice I've got the hands
2:34Skeletons and plans you've got to let em go
2:41All our lives
2:44I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
2:50All our lives
2:53I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
2:57This was no path to glory
2:59You always walked before me
3:02But you came back to warn me
3:04All our lives
3:08All our lives
3:11I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
3:15This was no path to glory
3:17You always walked before me
3:19But you came back to warn me
3:21All 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 trying to 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 And 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 I remember being young and staring at my hands In the middle of the night the first light of the morning My room like a church voices down the hall I barely made em out but sometimes you don't want to know Now that I'm older I can tell you this The mornings I miss but I don't really miss the 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 fallen skies 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 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
