All I Need
Foster Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday
I wake up grateful
A little more thankful
For all of the things
I learned yesterday
We all got stories
I’m not on my own
And I got all I need
Good vibes and family
I got all I need
All I need
It’s all I need

Nobody’s really normal
We could all use a hand some time
It pays to pay it forward
I know I’m not the only one that’s losing my mind

Oh everyday ain’t
Sunshine and daisies
I go through phases in my head
Sometimes I’d rather stay in bed
But I know
Know I’m not alone
I got what I need
Oh inside of me

Oh everyday yeah

Everyday
I wake up grateful
A little more thankful
For all of the things
I learned yesterday
We all got stories
I’m not on my own

And I got all I need
Good vibes and family
I got all I need

I began so solid with a dream
I was careful, steady I was following the heat
Went to therapy to let go of lies that I believe
It’s apparent I was only arriving at the scene

Repressed memories pulling me out of pocket
My first breath leaving me fresh but out of water
It’s a bird’s nest that I’m attached to keeping longer
And the first step out of the box that is the hardest

But maybe I don’t gotta do this on my own
Maybe we were really more than skin and bone
See the blood sweat tears and feel our souls
Maybe it’s another key to a brand new home

Not another line drawn in the sand
I don’t ever wanna do that again
I wanna go out there and swim
So will you reach out with your hand?

Everyday
I wake up grateful
A little more thankful
I learned yesterday
We all got stories
I’m not on my own

And I got all I need
Good vibes and family
I got all I need
All I need
It’s all I need





All I need
It’s all I need
