​all the things

[Intro: Jane Tyrell]
Oh
Ay-ay (Listen)
(Listen, listen)
Oh-oh (Listen, listen)
(Listen, listen)

[Verse 1: Mantra]
You understood my unusual view and I knew
I could only see a future with you
All the plans I was makin’, they included us too
We spoke a beautiful truth like The Roots and Badu, you got me
You got how I got this way
Even when I was not able to concentrate
For all the things detrimental goin’ on in my brain
You were the only reason I would never stop to complain
At the end of a horrible day, full of problems and pain
Would sit watchin’ the rain, and watch it wash ‘em away
No apologies made
A middle finger to the planet if they’re sorry we came
I often think about how close we probably came
Now I’m drownin’ in my sorrows again
Now I’m drownin’ in my sorrows again

[Chorus: Mantra & Jane Tyrell]
All the things that we gone and been through
All the things that we went and did
All the things that we gon’ regret soon
All those lives we never lived

[Post-Chorus: Jane Tyrell, Mantra & Jane Tyrell]
Listen, listen (We never lived)
Listen, listen (We never lived)
Listen, listen (We never lived)
Listen, listen (We never lived)
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen, listen

[Verse 2: Mantra, Jane Tyrell]
You still keep me smilin’ from day to day
Memories are like Larry Bird, I watch ‘em shine as they fade away
‘Cause they the same, fall the way that we relate and elate
Feels like love done led us to hate
And they say that it’s all fair
With such malevolent metaphors as love and warfare
But on the contrary, it’s various sides of love and all of its variants
That lead us to the scariest areas
Then when it’s starin’ us dead in the retinas
That’s when our affair will eventually bury us (Oh)
Still so unprepared to remember it
Desperate through all our endeavours I was never intrepid
Forever more scared than adventurous
Aware o’ everythin’ out there that could threaten us
Tryna balance up the debts and the deficits
But never stuck around long enough for the benefits

[Chorus: Mantra & Jane Tyrell, Jane Tyrell]
All the things that we gone and been through
All the things that we went and did
All the things that we gon’ regret soon
All those lives we never lived
All the things that we gone and been through
All the things that we went and did ([?])
All the things that we gon’ regret soon
All those lives we never lived

[Post-Chorus: Jane Tyrell, Mantra & Jane Tyrell]
Listen, listen (We never lived)
Listen, listen (We never lived)
Listen, listen (We never lived)
Listen, listen (We never lived, we never lived)
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
