All at Once Songtext
von The Airborne Toxic Event

We were born without time
Nameless in the arms
Of a mother, a father and God

When the world would wait for us
A thousand years in the crush
Of our eyes, fearless and awed

Quietly we′d fade into sleep
With nothing on our minds

Then we longed to be loved
In the rush we'd become
Some things we thought we′d never be

We were surprised by how hard
Left wary and scarred
From the nights spent feeling incomplete


And all those evenings swearing at the sky
Wishing for more time
All the promises we broke when we tried
Were just wasting all our time.

We grow old all at once
And it comes like a punch
In the gut, in the back, in the face

When it seems someone's lied
And our parents have died
Then we hold onto each other in their place

And I feel the water risin' around us
Maybe that′s okay
Yeah, I feel the world changin′ all at once
I guess it'll be okay

Hoo, hoo, hoo

And we all had one hope
There was someone lookin′ down
To return our bodies to each other
And the ground
