All My Life
Joachim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been keeping a close eye on
This heart of mine
I've been leaving the door barely open
Just watching love come near
Then walk by

But I just want to feel like crazy
Love, maybe you're the one
Who won't let me get away
And I just want to hope
That maybe you
Can tell me what I feel
And you feel the same

Oh I'm just waking up, feeling sober
From a night, that took us over
You, me, and the whiskey
We never left your room
There were stars in our eyes
Every heart beat hit on time
You were with me
I was yours and you were mine
All night, all night, all night

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh where were you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh where were you
All my life

Have you ever been loved
So hard, so fast, so strong
Or do you only know lust
Coming in quick, only taking
Leaving scars

I just want to feel like crazy
Love, maybe you're the one
Who won't let me get away
I just want to hope
That maybe you
Can tell me what I feel
And you feel the same

Oh I'm just waking up, feeling sober
From a night, that took us over
You and me in the backseat
Of a car with a view
There were stars in our eyes
Every word spoke hung in time
You were with me
I was yours and you were mine
All night, all night, all night

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh where were you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh where were you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh where were you




Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh where were you
All my life

Overall Meaning

The song "All My Life" by Joachim is a heartfelt plea for love and connection. The first verse expresses the singer's reluctance to let love in, as they have been hurt before. They have been watching for love, hoping that it will come close, but it always seems to pass them by. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the second verse, as the singer recalls a night of passion and connection with someone special. They express a desire for this person to be the one who won't let them get away, and to share in the same feelings of love.


The chorus repeats this desire for love, but the bridge contrasts this with a question about whether the singer has ever experienced true love, or only lust. Despite this uncertainty, the chorus repeats once again. Overall, the song expresses a desire for deep connection and the fear and hope that come with it.
