Had It All
Parachute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I let you down
I think about it all the time
We could have had it all
We could have had it all

Always thought we would make it
The world was ours for the taking
God, I wish I could change it

How you left in the taxi
And I just watched as it happened
I took the round trip for granted

Now I tell myself what's done is done
But really I'm afraid
The only love I'll ever know
Is one that got away

I know I let you down
I think about it all the time
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
I wish I knew it then
That life is what you leave behind
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
We could have had it all

I get out at the station
Trace our steps where we made them
Through the maze of the pavement

And at the corner where I had to choose
Didn't realize what I had to lose
I should have fought until my dying breath for you

Now I tell myself what's done is done
But really I'm afraid
The only love I'll ever know
Is one that got away, yeah

I know I let you down
I think about it all the time
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
I wish I knew it then
That life is what you leave behind
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
Yeah we could have had it all

Cause God it was perfect
I know it was all my fault
God it was perfect
Oh we could have had it all

I know I let you down
I think about it all the time
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
I wish I knew it then
That life is what you leave behind
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
We could have had it all

I know I let you down
I think about it all the time




We could have had it all
We could have had it all

Glad they're back.. one of the most underrated band.

teddy teddy

They are way too underrated, but I always know they are truly talented

Skych Moremi

couldn't say more dia! i mean, did you just take the words out of my mouth, or chose to use them against me, and giving me a negated tautology to deal with. I wish I could do 'reverse psychology' with words or emoji's...guess some things lack words to explain them so we stick to allegories and equivocalized word Architecture. BUT THEN AGAIN TO BE A GOOD MASONRY YOU MUST!! or is it not a lie? if it is a lie, why is nothing true when nothing is wrong! eeh! just throwing in that towel, it MAY BE JUST A HOLOGRAM AFTERALL!!JUST LIKE ANY OTHER
