All my life
The Foo Fighters Lyrics

All my life I've been searching for something
Throughout my entire existence, I have been seeking for an unknown element.

Something never comes never leads to nothing
This elusive entity never materializes thus results in emptiness.

Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Various experiences have left me wanting, but progress is being made.

Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
I am slowly approaching the final goal but feel vulnerable.

All night long I dream of the day
During the waking and sleeping hours, the desired outcome is envisioned.

When it comes around and it's taken away
However, when it seemingly arrives, it is quickly snatched away.

Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
This outcome perpetuates the strongest emotion within me.

Feel it come to life when I see your ghost
I experience its existence when encapsulated within your memory.

Calm down don't you resist
Relax and don't fight the inevitable.

You've such a delicate wrist
Your wrist is fragile and must be treated gently.

And if I give it a twist
But if I were to apply a sudden turn,

Something to hold when I lose my grip
It would provide me with a stabilizer in times of uncertainty.

Will I find something in there
Is there a possibility of locating something within it.

To give me just what I need
That would provide me with precisely what I require.

Another reason to bleed
Perhaps, it could lead me to another source of pain.

One by one hidden up my sleeve (one by one hidden up my sleeve)
I have a series of secrets, hidden with discretion and care.

Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
It is cherished but unwanted.

Weight keepin' me down
It is difficult to shake off the burden.

Will I find a believer
Is there someone who shares my beliefs.

Another one who believes
Is there another who holds similar convictions.

Another one to deceive
Or, in contrast, someone who I can trick.

Over and over down on my knees
Repeatedly in desperation, surrendering to a higher power.

If I get any closer
Getting closer by the second.

And if you open up wide
If you were to expose yourself greatly.

And if you let me inside
Would you grant me entrance to your innermost thoughts.

On and on I've got nothing to hide (on and on I've got nothing to hide)
Endlessly, nothing held back.

Then I'm done done on to the next one
Once accomplished, I immediately move on to the next task.

Done done and I'm on to the next one
Making sure to complete and progress through my goals.

Done I'm done and on to the next
My work here is complete; onwards to the next objective.

Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
A treasure that does not leave a good impression.

Done done on to the next one
Achieving it and proceeding to the following.

And I'm done and on to the next
Accomplished, the next undertaking awaits my attention.
