From lead singer Trenton Woodley:
I’ve always struggled to communicate myself verbally; it might be why poetry and writing have always appealed to me. This song is about that struggle, particularly in any type of crisis situation, where what you say is not necessarily what is meant or heard. It act...
[Verse 1]
Be honest with yourself;
Do you see in your reflection someone else?
You're fogging up the glass in looking for direction
So close you can't see past
[Refrain]
I'll make amends, I'll make believe
I'll make my mind up, make you see
I'll take a chance, I'll take a moment
All for nothing
[Chorus]
All my life
I've tried letting you inside
To see the world through my eyes
And all I see is time I've wasted
All my life you thought that I'd lost my mind
If I could just get it right, then you might see
You just don't get it
(You just don't get it)
[Verse 2]
The lights left on all night
The locks have all been changed while I'm inside
[Refrain]
And I'm beating down the door
Knuckles bloodied, broken, raw
Trying to take these walls and turn them inside out
It's all for nothing
[Chorus]
All my life
I've tried letting you inside
To see the world through my eyes
And all I see is time I've wasted
All my life you thought that I'd lost my mind
If I could just get it right, then you might see
You just don't get it
[Refrain]
I'll make amends, I'll make believe
I'll make my mind up, make you see
I'll take a chance, I'll take a moment
Let it out and let go
[Breakdown]
It's all for nothing
It's all for nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
All my life
I tried letting you inside
[Chorus]
All my life
I've tried letting you inside
To see the world through my eyes
And all I see is time I've wasted
All my life you thought that I'd lost my mind
If I could just get it right, then you might see
You just don't get it
[Outro]
You just don't get it
(You just don't get it)
It's all for nothing
(You just don't get it)
