All My Life
Chris/Dave/Foo Fighters/J. Taylor/Nate Lyrics

All my life, I've been searching for something
Throughout my entire existence, I've been trying to find a particular object, goal or aspiration.

Something never comes, never leads to nothing
The thing I've been searching for seems unattainable and pointless.

Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Even though nothing has fulfilled me, I'm gradually making progress towards achieving my goal.

Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
I'm getting nearer to obtaining the thing I want, but it feels like I'm hanging by a thread.

All night long I dream of the day
During my slumber, I fantasize about the moment when I finally achieve my goal.

When it comes around and it's taken away
But when I finally get what I've been searching for, it's removed or disappears.

Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
This makes me experience the most intense emotion.

Feel it come to life when I see your ghost
It's revived when I see a memory of you, a feeling I yearn to experience again.

Calm down, don't you resist
Be relaxed and do not oppose.

You've such a delicate wrist
Your wrist is thin and gentle-looking.

And if I give it a twist
If I apply some pressure to it.

Something to hold when I lose my grip
I want your wrist as an anchor when I feel like I'm losing control or falling apart.

Will I find something in there
Will I discover something significant within that thing/person I want so much?

To give me just what I need?
To provide me with precisely what I lack?

Another reason to bleed
Another justification to feel pain and distress.

One by one hidden up my sleeve
Multiple schemes or tactics concealed from others, ready to be unleashed gradually.

Hey, don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
I appreciate this thing, but I detest the consequences that come with it.

Weight keepin' me down
It's burdening me and slowing me down.

Will I find a believer?
Will I meet someone who shares, accepts, and embraces my beliefs, desires or dreams?

Another one who believes
Another individual who has faith in the same cause as me.

Another one to deceive
Another person to manipulate, trick or lie to.

Over and over, down on my knees
Repeatedly going through the same cycle of difficult situations and begging for mercy or forgiveness.

If I get any closer
If I come even more intimate or close to my goal.

And if you open up wide
And if you reveal your inner self, your secrets or your heart to me.

And if you let me inside
And if you welcome me and let me be part of your life.

On and on, I got nothing to hide
Continuously being truthful and transparent about my intentions and feelings.

Then I'm done, done on to the next one
When I'm finished with one goal, I immediately move on to the next one.

Hey, don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
Even though I have mixed feelings about this thing, I don't want to waste it and want to make the most out of it.

Done, done and I'm on to the next one
I'm completely finished with one task or goal and moving on to the next one.

Done, done and I'm on to the next one
I've accomplished everything I could, and now it's time for me to start anew.

Done, done on to the next one
I'm completely finished with this goal, and it's time to move forward.

Done, I'm done and I'm on to the next
I've completed this objective, and now I'm going to work on the next one.
