All Our Lives
Laura Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A calico cat a Frigidair, a lawn that's full of grass
A mantel place a chandelier on a 8 by 20 deck
A boss that lies, a kid that cries and then a weekly
Check
A minute a minute a minute a minute a second an hour
Are made of these
Made of these
A pitiful cry an alibi a world that's gone awry
A dwindling brook a banished book a pray to the sky
A weakening stance a short romance a wealth of partial
Truth
Aspiring judge who fails to budge rejoices -- skin of
Tooth
A fellow a fellow a fellow a fellow a fellow a fellow
Is made of these
A women a women a women a women a women a women
Is made of these
All our lives
All our lives
A capital gain a tired refrain -- recalling sunken
Ships
Bringing to mind an invitation -- reading loosened lips
A stumble a fall a basketball -- a momentary laps
A magical man who think he can and mightn't he perhaps?
A leader a leader a leader a leader a leader a follower
Is made of these
A city a city a city a nation a nation
Is made of these
Laura Love's song "All Our Lives" is a reflection of the diverse and sometimes contradictory aspects of human experience that shape our existence. The song is composed of a series of contrasting images and situations that are held together by the repetition of the refrain, "Life a life a life a life forever and ever are made of these."
The first verse describes the simple pleasures of home life, such as a comfortable couch, a cat, and a lawn, alongside the harsh reality of economic dependence on a bad boss and a paycheck. The repetition of "a minute a minute a minute a minute a second an hour" emphasizes the everyday moments that shape our lives.
The second verse portrays the challenges of a world that has gone awry, with banished books, weakened stances, and partial truths. However, the verse also highlights the resilience of the human spirit, with the image of a judge who fails to budge but rejoices in small victories.
The third verse includes a mix of contemporary and historical references, such as "sunken ships" and "reading loosened lips", alongside a basketball game and a "magical man" who thinks he can. The verse emphasizes the juxtaposition of leadership and followership, as well as the idea that our experiences are shaped both by our individual lives and the larger contexts in which we exist.
Overall, "All Our Lives" encourages listeners to embrace the varied and complex aspects of life, and to recognize that our experiences are made up of a multitude of moments and contexts.

Oh, God, I need to belong to someone
I miss the breath of a kiss
I miss the wonder of a future with somebody
Oh, God, show me love
I miss belonging to someone
I miss the kiss of another
I miss the morning, I miss the waking up
I need someone to hold my hand, bigger than mine
Oh, God, where are you?
Show me love
If it wasn't real, then why does it hurt so bad?
'Cause the thing that we had seemed like everything
Never thought we would be torn apart by a change in the wind or a cloud in the sky
We were always
And you showed me love of the deepest kind
And I will never find another love like you showed me love
And now I see
If it wasn't real, then why does it hurt so bad?
'Cause the thing that we had, it was everything
Never thought we would be torn apart by a change in the wind or a cloud in the sky
We were always
You showed me love of the deepest kind
I will never find another love like you showed me love
Now I see
In time, this heart may heal (in time, this heart may heal)
Take a while 'fore you know the way to be whole again
And together, we will move mountains far
Take a reach for a prayer that begins with a story of old
Never ended here
You showed me love of the deepest kind
I will never find another love like you showed me love
Now I see
Now I can see you
And you showed me, showed me love of the deepest kind
And I will never find a love like you
You showed me love of the deepest kind
No, no, no
Nobody, there's nobody like you
Now I see you
Now I see you, hmm
You showed me love and I thank you
And I need you and I miss you
You
You showed me love
You showed me love
Of the deepest kind, and I will never find a love
A love like you
You showed me, you showed me love
You showed me love
You showed me love
You showed me, yeah
You showed me love
You showed me love
You showed me love of the deepest kind
I will never find a love
You showed me love
You showed me love
I will never find a love like you
Love
You showed me love
You showed me love, yeah
Yeah
Of the deepest kind, the best kind of love
I'm so sorry; now I see you, now
Oh, God
And it's too late, it's too late
Oh, God
