Dido, Pete Miser - All I See lyrics
[Dido, Pete Miser - All I See lyrics]
I thought it was done when I packed
My bags and walked into the light
I picked the books I thought I
Should and closed the door behind
And when I handed back the keys
I thought that I was free
No shame, no dirt, no surprises wait for me
I want to believe that where I began
Is not where I'll always be
But you're all I see and I carry you with me
You're all I see and I carry you with me
Thought it was safe to assume once
I locked up the room
That I'd be gone for good
But I would be back soon
Memories burned out still I'm
Smelling the fumes
Melodies turned down still I'm
Singing the tunes like a witch on a broom
I wish I could fly fly away
Disappear into the ether, find a hideaway
But the memories invade when I lie awake
Can't hide from yourself is what
I'm trying to say and by the way
What would I be without my past?
Only find the right number when
I doubt my math
Avoid blunders only after I recount my last
Setbacks that don't kill me
Just amount to laughs
Anyway, if I could turn back
The hands of time
Would I change the events or change my mind?
Wouldn't recognize myself without my
Doubts and fears
Got a feeling all I need is all right here
And you're all I see and I carry you with me
You're all I see and I carry you with me
You're all I see and I carry you with me
I've been told apples don't fall
Far from the tree i hope they're wrong when
They're talking about me
All I see are the ruins of a plan gone wrong
All I need is a reason to
Keep on and stay strong
Gotta couple old ghosts that
Won't leave me alone
Even after moving three thousand
Miles from home thought I shook 'em when I
Hit Brooklyn wasn't even looking
But they're putting their mark
On everything I do
Find a few quiet moments and
They creep back through
Infiltrated my dreams and held
My sleep back too i don't know where I could
Go without them following me
It seems everywhere I look they're all I see
You're all I need you're all I need
You're all I see and I carry you with me
You're all I see and I carry you with me
My bags and walked into the light
I picked the books I thought I
Should and closed the door behind
And when I handed back the keys
I thought that I was free
No shame, no dirt, no surprises wait for me
I want to believe that where I began
Is not where I'll always be
But you're all I see and I carry you with me
You're all I see and I carry you with me
Thought it was safe to assume once
I locked up the room
That I'd be gone for good
But I would be back soon
Memories burned out still I'm
Smelling the fumes
Melodies turned down still I'm
Singing the tunes like a witch on a broom
I wish I could fly fly away
Disappear into the ether, find a hideaway
But the memories invade when I lie awake
Can't hide from yourself is what
I'm trying to say and by the way
What would I be without my past?
Only find the right number when
I doubt my math
Avoid blunders only after I recount my last
Setbacks that don't kill me
Just amount to laughs
Anyway, if I could turn back

Would I change the events or change my mind?
Wouldn't recognize myself without my
Doubts and fears
Got a feeling all I need is all right here
And you're all I see and I carry you with me
You're all I see and I carry you with me
You're all I see and I carry you with me
I've been told apples don't fall
