REPUBLIC - All We Are
dani@nubs.org

I tried to paint you a picture
The colors were all wrong
Black and white didn't fit you
And all along
You were shaded with patience
And strokes of everything
That I need just to make it
And I believe that

Time can tell of how it won't break
Anything that we are
We are

We won't say our goodbyes
You know its better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All I need, all I need
A lover's alibi

I walked a minute in your shoes
They never wore to fit
I figured there's nothing to lose
A new beginning
Some perspective on these words
Before I write them down
You're an island in my ship
That's run aground

Time can tell of how it won't break
Anything that you are
You are

We won't say our goodbyes
You know its better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi

Yeah
Never seen a day that I could breathe
You change my philosophy
How long is this meant to be
And none of them means a thing to me
I'm never gonna let you pass me by

We won't say our goodbyes
You know its better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi
