All That I Had
jon-rae and the river Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am, broken wings, quiet thoughts, unspoken dreams
Here I am, alone again and I need her now to hold my hand

She's all, she's all I ever had
She's the air I breathe
She's all, she's all I ever had

It's the way she makes me feel
It's the only thing that's real
It's the way she understands
She's my lover, she's my friend
And when I look into her eyes
It's the way I feel inside
Like the man I want to be
She's all I ever need

So much time, so much pain, but there's one thing that still remains
It's the, the way she cared the love we shared
And through it all she's always been there

She's all, she's all I ever had
In a world so cold, so empty
She's all, she's all I ever had

It's the way she makes me feel
It's the only thing that's real
It's the way she understands
She's my lover, she's my friend
And when I look into her eyes
It's the way I feel inside
Like the man I want to be
She's all I ever need

She's all, she's all I ever had
It's the way she makes me feel
It's the only thing that's real
It's the way she understands
She's my lover, she's my friend
And when I look into her eyes
It's the way I feel inside
Like the man I want to be
She's all I ever need

She's all I ever need
When I look into her eyes
It's the way I feel inside
Like the man I wanna be




She's all I ever need
Here I am
