All The Time
Ten Times A Million Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't need anything to tell you the truth
I don't have anything that couldn't be lost
Just pick it up, pick it up, throw it out now
You could play anything to make me believe
All on repeat, yeah I got nowhere to be
just turn it up, turn it up I'm all up for it now

They took all that is mine,

They stepped over the line
Start fighting, start fighting for the same side
Just put some money down
Let's get another round
Been fighting, but fighting for the wrong thing

I see it there when I close my eyes Another world and a different life
I seem to dream about it all the time
The kind of place maybe I can thrive
Some other world and a different life I seem to dream about it all the time

I pray for anyone that's coming my way
I'm fairly certain that we're gonna get lost
You wanna stop, wanna stop, tell me right now
And if we carry on you gotta believe
Ain't taking nothing but the air that we breathe
So turn it up, turn it up
I'm all up for it now

They took all that is mine,
They stepped over the line
Been fighting, been fighting on the wrong side
Just put some money down
Let's get another round
Start fighting, we're fighting for the right thing

I see it there when I close my eyes
Another world and a different life
I seem to dream about it all the time
The kind of place maybe I can thrive
Some other world and a different life
I seem to dream about it all the time

Lead us to the light
Shine it on what's wrong or right
Let us clearly see the line
All the time

Lead us to the light
Shine it on what's wrong or right
Let us clearly see the line
All the time

I see it there when I close my eyes
Another world and a different life
I seem to dream about it all the time
The kind of place maybe I can thrive
Some other world and a different life
I seem to dream about it all

Seem to dream about it all
Seem to dream about it all the time
