091 All I Wanna Do
Jamie Lidell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could swallow the sky
And the mountains too
I'd do it
So there'd be nothing
To fall on you
Cause in a world full of wonders
To let it openly wonder
When there's still little wonder left in you

[Chorus]
And all I wanna do
Is show you
How easy
It could be
For you to paint back
The colors
Like the green in your tree
Before it all fades away

They say there's no roads where we're going
Let's prove them wrong
If I could I would level the land
So we could keep moving on
Cause in a world full of magic
It's never ever tragic
When there's still
A little magic
Left in you

[Chorus]

When it's cold outside
And your sun's all out
You'll be sleeping too
In a drive above your dreams
Don't you know that
There's really no such thing
As an endless night
So let's make a little magic
Just to put things right

And all I wanna do
Is show you
How easy
It could be
And all really I wanna do
Is show you
How easy
It could be
For you to paint back
The colors
Like the green in your tree
Before it all fades away





All I wanna do
All I really wanna do
