All We Have

Sitting wondering if I'm missing what the others have

A steady job, a caring home, family in their beds

Flowers on the table, photos on each wall

I don't know what I've been waiting for

Something tells me I've been here before

Getting old was easy when you couldn't see the signs

But then all I ever learnt in life was that nothing ever lasts

Staring down the papers, scared to turn the page

Wondering how this is all we made

Something tells me this is all we'll have

And I'm not sleeping

Don't wanna see the trains and lights, the hooded men,

the blackened doors and dragon tails

Maybe it's time to make a plan like

Moving to the country with my man

The king who burns his castle, just to steal the maid

The fallen in their shackles praying for a judgement day

Hoping for an angel to come down and say

Honey, take my hand

Didn't you learn that nothing ever lasts

No, this ain't all we'll have
