All I Need
Mat Kearney Lyrics

Here it comes it's all blowing in tonight
Something ominous is happening tonight and it's coming in full force.

I woke up this morning to a blood red sky
The morning looks grim and foreboding with a red sky.

They're burning on the bridge turning off the lights
There's chaos and violence happening, with fire and lights being turned off.

We're on the run I can see it in your eyes
Both parties are aware that the situation is dire and they need to escape.

If nothing is safe then I don't understand
The uncertainty of the situation makes it difficult to grasp.

You call me your boy but I'm trying to be the man
The singer is trying to be the protector and responsible one in the situation.

One more day and it's all slipping with the sand
Time is running out, and everything is slipping away like grains of sand.

You touch my lips and grab the back of my hand
In this chaotic moment, there's a brief moment of intimacy and connection between the two characters.

Guess we both know we're in over our heads
Both parties are overwhelmed and in a situation that they can't handle.

We got nowhere to go and no home that's left
There's nowhere safe to go, and they've lost all of their possessions.

The water is rising on a river turning red
The situation is getting worse by the minute, and the river is turning red with blood.

It all might be OK or we might be dead
There's no way of knowing what the outcome will be; it could go either way.

If everything we've got is slipping away
Everything they've worked for and possessed is disappearing.

I meant what I said when I said until my dying day
The singer is committed to the other person until the end, even in a dire situation.

I'm holding on to you, holding onto me
Both characters are holding onto each other for physical and emotional support.

Maybe it's all gone black but you're all I see
Despite the darkness and chaos, the other person is the only thing that matters and is visible.

The walls are shaking, I hear them sound the alarm
The situation is so chaotic that even the walls are shaking, indicating danger.

Glass is breaking so don't let go of my arm
There's destruction happening, and the other person is a source of emotional stability and protection.

Grab your bags and a picture of where we met
Despite fleeing, there's a sense of nostalgia and fondness for where everything started.

All that we'll leave behind and all that's left
Everything they leave behind is gone, but they still have each other.

If everything we've got is blowing away
Everything they've worked for is disappearing with the wind.

We've got a rock and a rock till our dying day
All that they have is each other and they'll cling to that until the end.

Maybe it's all we got but it's all I need
Despite having nothing else, the other person is everything the singer needs.

And if all we've got is what no one can break
Their bond is the only thing that can't be broken, despite the chaos.

I know I love you
In the face of dire circumstances, the singer is certain of their feelings for the other person.

If that's all we can take
If all they can take is the love they have for each other, then that's enough.

The tears are coming down
The situation is emotional and overwhelming, and tears are being shed.

They're mixing with the rain
The artist is crying in the rain, highlighting the emotional weight of the situation.

A pool is running for miles on the concrete ground
The rain is so heavy that it's forming a pool on the concrete, indicating the severity of the storm.

We're eight feet deep and the rain is still coming down
The rain is so heavy that they're waist-deep in water, with no sign of it relenting.

The TV's playing it all out of town
Even the TV is reporting on the chaos, indicating the severity of the situation.

We're grabbing at the fray for something that won't drown
Despite the chaos, they're still trying to hold onto something that won't disappear.
