All My Life
Texada Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my life I've waited for you.
Think I survived so I could know you
and everything will change,
but we got now forever,
so let's run with it, baby,
run with it, baby.
Run, run, run.
All my days, I'm thinking of you

and every way that I could love you.
Making you all mine is all I want to do
so run away with me, baby,
away with me, baby.
Run, run, run.
Take it all.
(Come, my love.)
Take my heart.
(Run, my love)
Change your mind.

(My love)
End.
