All My Life
The Lathums Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on
Let′s take it slow
Let our bodies feel the music
'Cause we don′t have that long

So let's not forget, why we're here
To show emotion, baby, have no fear
′Cause you and I were made to be
So hold me darling, so I can see

′Cause I have spent all my life
Wondering if all this is right
And I believe that I have found my answer
So I wait for an open door
And see, I'll see just what becomes
′Cause I don't ever want to lose this feeling

So you sit back, and you sing your song
And I′ll put you on my radio
I'll sit back and ponder life
And I′ll think of lovely things
And I won't let the door close, no
And if it does, I'll jump straight through the window
I won′t ever let it keep me down

′Cause I have spent all my life
Wondering if all this is right
And I believe that I have found my answer
So I wait for an open door
And see, I'll see just what becomes
′Cause I don't ever want to lose this feeling

′Cause I have spent all my life
Wondering if all this is right
And I believe that I have found my answer
So I wait for an open door




And see, I'll see just what becomes
′Cause I don't ever want to lose this feeling

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Lathums' song "All My Life" are a romantic plea for intimacy and an acknowledgement of the fleeting nature of life. From the outset, the song's opening lines suggest a slow and steady pace, urging the listener to "Let our bodies feel the music" and take their time enjoying life's pleasures. There is a sense of urgency, however, as the lyrics note "we don't have that long," reminding the listener to cherish every moment.


The next verse has a more introspective tone, reflecting on the purpose of life and encouraging the listener to overcome fear and show emotion. The line "′Cause you and I were made to be" expresses a deep connection and suggests that two people coming together is a sort of destiny. The sentiment is reinforced by the plea for physical closeness, "So hold me darling, so I can see," emphasizing the value of human connection in a world that can often feel chaotic and uncertain.


The chorus repeats the theme of searching for meaning and waiting for opportunities. The refrain "And I believe that I have found my answer / So I wait for an open door / And see, I'll see just what becomes" suggests a sense of hope and optimism even in the face of uncertainty. The final verse returns to the idea of the transience of life and the necessity of seizing opportunities as they arise. The line "And if it does, I'll jump straight through the window / I won't ever let it keep me down" emphasizes the determination to not let life's challenges stand in the way of pursuing happiness.


In summary, "All My Life" is a thoughtful and heartfelt reflection on the importance of cherishing the moment and seizing opportunities in the brief time we have on this earth.
