All The Way
Markus Fagervall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish that you were ugly
Then it wouldn't be so hard
I shouldn't be complaining
But you were holding all the cards

You should have bit your lip
Instead of bitting mine
I wanna go all the way
But something tells me that won't happen
You're starting to take this game too far (too far from home)
I wanna go all the way
But going there would leave me broken
I've gotta stop dreaming about your perfection
Gotta pull myself in the right direction

You knew what you were doing
When you lead me by the hand
I found it so confusing
There's one thing I don't understand

You're older, but it seems to me that I'm wiser?

I wanna go all the way
But something tells me that won't happen
You're starting to take this game too far (too far from home)
I wanna go all the way
But going there would leave me broken
I'v gotta stop dreaming about your perfection
Gotta pull myself in the right direction

There's just one too many consequences
And there's only so much I can take




You've forgotten more than I remember
I guess the choice is mine to take
