Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I fell in love again

All things go, all things go

Drove to Chicago

All things know, all things know

We sold our clothes to the state

I don't mind, I don't mind

I made a lot of mistakes

In my mind, in my mind

[Chorus]

You came to take us

All things go, all things go

To recreate us

All things grow, all things grow

We had our mind set

All things know, all things know

You had to find it

All things go, all things go

[Verse 2]

I drove to New York

In a van with my friend

We slept in parking lots

I don't mind, I don't mind

I was in love with the place

In my mind, in my mind

I made a lot of mistakes

In my mind, in my mind

[Chorus]

You came to take us

All things go, all things go

To recreate us

All things grow, all things grow

We had our mind set

All things know, all things know

You had to find it

All things go, all things go

[Verse 3]

If I was crying

In the van with my friend

It was for freedom

From myself and from the land

I made a lot of mistakes

I made a lot of mistakes

I made a lot of mistakes

I made a lot of mistakes

[Chorus]

You came to take us

All things go, all things go

To recreate us

All things grow, all things grow

We had our mind set

All things know, all things know

You had to find it

All things go, all things go

[Chorus]

You came to take us

All things go, all things go

To recreate us

All things grow, all things grow

We had our mind set (I made a lot of mistakes)

All things know, all things know (I made a lot of mistakes)

You had to find it (I made a lot of mistakes)

All things go, all things go (I made a lot of mistakes)
