The title track and lead single from their 2012 record. This is typical Cold War Kids; an anthemic piano riff, aggressive four-on-the-floor drums, and Willett’s incredible unique and emotive voice.
The lyrics sound like Willett urging a possible romantic interest to give him a “try,” and the music...
[Verse 1]
I've been silent partner, I've been your shrink
I have heard your sad luck misfortune speech
But I'll have sympathy when you get off your seat
Before this bitterness becomes a disease
[Verse 2]
I have cracked the code on this old machine
Ten thousands hours to be released
But I've been wondering why can't you see
If the door opens up, then go where it leads
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I have been waiting
For you to find
That all of this could be yours
Be yours tonight
[Chorus]
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
[Verse 3]
You were packing up but I gave you a bed
You would rather crash than go straight ahead
I wrote this years ago but it's finished today
With the help of a friend who has feelings to say
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I have been waiting
But you need a sign
That all of this could be yours
Be yours tonight
I have been patient
But you've got to try
Then all of this could be yours
Be yours tonight
[Chorus]
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
Could be yours
[Outro]
All this could be yours
And all this could be yours
And all this could be yours
And all this could be yours, could be yours
All this could be yours
