All I Want
Eva Avila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The weight of the city surrounding our home
So far away but not so long ago
The taste of their burden is still on my tongue
Sweetest of songs from across the ocean
Carried us here and remind us how to love
Can you feel it in the drums
Don't you know I owe it all to you?
I take it with me in everything I do
It's true I do it all for you
And with this love we could never lose
The road is long and there's bumps on the way
Don't be discouraged by adversity
Believe in yourself no matter what they say
Around the world if you're near or far
The fire's in you no matter who you are
Go as far as you can, don't forget that you're a star
Don't you know I owe it all to you?
I take it with me in everything I do
It's true I do it all for you
And with this love we could never lose
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la, oh, oh, oh
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la, oh, oh, oh
Don't you know I owe it all to you?
I take it with me in everything I do
It's true I do it all for you
And with this love we could never lose
We could never lose
I owe it all to you
You, you
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
