[Verse 1]
Be by your side, I want to be
All those other times I lied, I cannot breathe
There's nothing left to show you now except my heart
When everyone around me grows, I just fall apart
Be by your side, I want to be
Haven't got the time to cry though I'm so free
It takes a little time to find when it's so dark
Another little candle blown, life's about to start
[Chorus]
And I wanna feel the blood rushing straight to my head
And I wanna feel like a dog with a bone to be lead
And I wanna feel every pulse to the shake in your leg
And I wanna feel every thought till my body drops dead
Grow up to behaving like I should
And I understand now I'm no good
[Post-Chorus]
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time
[Verse 2]
Be by your side, I want to be
What's another night of flyin' away from me?
We laugh about the ups and downs like they don't hurt
Softenin' the edge so I slip right through the dirt
Be by your side, I want to be
Haven't got the heart to keep up with the beat
The rush to start, I was mistaken
Fooled me into thinking I had the chance to run
[Chorus]
And I wanna feel the blood rushing straight to my head
And I wanna feel like a dog with a bone to be lead
And I wanna feel every pulse to the shake in your leg
And I wanna feel every thought till my body drops dead
Grow up to behaving like I should
And I understand now I'm no good
[Post-Chorus]
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Outro]
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time

This song is about the mechanisms that are used to hide your vulnerabilities and carry on. But also, the feeling of being about to burst and how cathartic it could be to allow yourself to let your emotions out and feel the world around you. This was one of the first songs we finished on the album as...
