Turnover - All That It Ever Was lyrics
[Turnover - All That It Ever Was lyrics]
Nothing belonged to you in the first place
If they’re all us and we’re all them
Then it’s like trading between your own hands
I thought I had it figured out
One day it all went missing
I spent the night stuck wide awake
My thoughts all so dissonant
Started thinking maybe I was living wrong
I took my head off for the night
Didn’t want to believe it
I started spending more time being
Mindful of my breathing
Sleeping on the floor and
Feeling so withdrawn
Take what you’ve got give it away
Nothing belonged to you in the first place
If they’re all us and we’re all them
Then it’s like trading between your own hands
Since I was young I have been
Told how I should measure success
"Work hard and you can have a
Life of luxury and excess"
I was walking by when I tripped and fell
Maybe it doesn’t matter if I give
You all you give me
I’m wondering if those are both
Different parts of one thing
Clearly now it’s all that it ever was
You and me, thinking it’s us and them
Can you see that all
The difference is pretend?
You always get higher with someone else
Than if you try to climb up all by yourself
Take what you’ve got give it away
Nothing belonged to you in the first place
If they’re all us and we’re all them
Then it’s like trading between your own hands
