[Verse 1]
Well, he said it like he meant it
But he did not really care
So I sat upon the eve's embraces
I was never there
No, I was never really fabled
I was never really lost
I was cunning through this habit of mine
You see, all the words were lost
Yes, all the words were lost
[Verse 2]
And you can stand upon your own life
Say it always seemed to seal
There were smiles upon the picture
But I don't know what to feel
And I told a million stories
And I sat down to risk half
But I never really meant it
'Til you came and stole my heart away
You came and stole my heart away
[Pre-Chorus]
And even if your real thought hid
A thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
[Chorus]
It all, all, all, all
All came back today
It all, all, all, all
All came back today
[Verse 3]
Well, the rain scales up
Your soul is drowned
Mother's sayings still raise a frown and
Mother's sayings still make you see
What you have lost instead of me
[Pre-Chorus]
And even if your real thought hid
A thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
[Chorus]
It all, all, all, all
All came back today
It all, all, all, all
All came back today
[Verse 4]
And even though the starlight falls
And takes your breath away
You still stare up towards the toss
Hey, I don't know what to say
I don't know how to be alone with
Some kind, fretless friend
And even though the harvest brings
Well, we all begin again
Yes, we all begin again
[Pre-Chorus]
And even if your real thought hid
A thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
[Chorus]
It all, all, all, all
All came back today
It all, all, all, all
All came back today
[Bridge]
I would like this sun
Be spoke until I find
I was all remembrance
Until the words got tired
[Verse 5]
And even if your war grows stale
You got nothing left
I caught the stylus
The sun, the sources
There is a second breath
To take, yes
There is a second
[Outro]
Ay lay-lay lay
Lay lay lay
Ay lay-lay lay la-lum
[humming]
