Long conversations
Add up to tat
Maybe dive in
Maybe hang back
Summon up the violence of a child
Chop down my foundations
Bring down the house around me
Like Samson on my head
And there's something on the store, didn't watch the dropper
Phone calls to Toronto I forgot to sterilize
All I
All I
All I want
All I want to do
All I
All I
All I want
All I want is you
There's no protection from the love
I thought, you think you need it
Jade girl throws the needles
To the bottom of the sea
I don't mend at all
I don't mend at all
From across the kitchen table
Staggering and slow
Summon up the violence of a child
Chop down my foundations
Bring down the house around me
Like Samson on my head
And there's something on the store, didn't watch the dropper
Phone calls to Toronto I forgot to sterilize
All I
All I
All I want
All I want to do
All I
All I
All I want
All I want is you
All I

This is my favorite song off of the album, hands down. Although, I do love "World Sick" and "Forced To Love" as well. This song just kicks so much ass. Thanks for the lyrics.
Definitely my new all time favorite.
Angel voices, I tell ya. Those women are angels.
Great voice and all around amazing song. One of my favorites for sure if not my favorite.
Beautiful song.
To me this describes perfectly all of the fickle people out there that have made mistakes and have needed forgiveness.
Lisa Lobsinger is nails.
@SuicidalWalrus Lobsinger's vocals on One Marathon (RSR) are amazing.
so good, it kind of hurts to listen to. almost. new favorite, if not all time favorite.
Def central to the Forgiveness theme of the whole album. My new fav BSS song.
to me it describes the kind of break up where both of you were never really in sync, as in one of you wanted to break up, the other one didn't, and you switched back and forth. ultimately you break up and then when you reflect on it, it's like you put sooo much into it just to arrive at that ultimatum where it was now or never.
this along with forced to love and sentimental x's make me think this a kind of break up album for BSS.
@Tiban I think the opposite. Sentimental X's tells me they will always be "off and on."
For me this song is about a person who had some sort of crisis in life but there is some courage left or found ("the heal of the hurt, etc.")
("It's like the common law Was wall to wall And almost faded I've seen the gone to small The lost of law The almost made it")
the person nearly lost it's courage
("It seems like mine to shine You'll always find the lonely ray")
progress of getting hope back
("It's like the wall to fall The fall of all The laws are graded I've seen the lies that call The pictures tall The lines are made in It's like the fight to crawl My darling all you've lived your age")
it's about life as a whole, different steps , promises and what it takes to move on
so basically this song is about hope
