All Because of You - Scott Mulligan

I was born a child of grace Nothing else about the place Everything was ugly but your beautiful face That left me no illusion I saw you in the curve of the moon In the shadow cast across my room You had me, in my tune When I just heard confusion All because of you All because of you All because of you I am, I am, I am I liked the sound of my own voice I didn't give anyone else a choice An intellectual tortoise Racin' with your bullet train Some people get squashed crossin' the tracks Some people got high rises on their backs I'm not broke, but you can see the cracks You can make me perfect again All because of you I am, I am I'm alive I'm being born I just arrived, I'm at the door Of the place I started out from And I want back inside All because of you All because of you All because of you I am

I was sitting up above the clouds Then one day you just came soaring by Foolish me, I hopped on for a ride Oh, why? Then my life just took sudden turn It's hard to swallow but you live and learn I never felt the pain so deep, that burn So long All because of you You turned me inside out You reached inside and shook my soul All because of you I can't get off the ground I was doing fine and then came you Then came you I guess I should have looked before I leap Before I knew it I was in too deep With a, I felt with someone who would play for keep With my heart Felt as though the sun may never shine At least for me not for a long, long time You made me so ashamed to think that I Was so blind All because of you You turned me inside out You reached inside and shook my soul All because of you Hey, I can't get off the ground I was doing fine and then came you Then came you, oh Yeah-yeah, baby I was doing fine and then came you All because of you You turned me inside out You reached inside and shook my soul All because of you, baby Hey, I can't get off the ground I was doing fine and then came you All because of you You turned me inside out All because of you I can't get off the ground I was doing fine and then came you All because of you You turned me inside out All because of you

Ooooooh I'm in heaven Ooooooh Over the moon And it's all because of you I held your hand And I knew forever One touch enough to be sure of it all Ooooooh I'm in heaven Ooooooh Over the moon And it's all because We took a night drive town 12th Avenue We were on the moon And it turned right into (?) We were sure of it all And it's all because of you Ooooooh I'm in heaven Ooooooh Over the moon And it's all because of you It's all because of you

I don't want to run I don't want to hide I just want to kiss goodnight Say goodnight one more time Nothing gets you up Nothing gets you high Everything just comes to this Final mis-taken lives And it's goodbye, goodbye all my new days Goodbye, all because of you days Goodbye You just can't get out You just can't get in Everything just has strung you up, hung you up To watch you swing One of us is you And one of us is me Broken frozen equal parts Broken hearts breaking free And it's goodbye, goodbye all my new days Goodbye, all those chosen few days Goodbye Baby maybe someday Maybe one day We'll say hi I don't want to run I don't want to hide I just want to kiss goodnight Say goodnight one last time Nothing gets you up Nothing gets me high Everything just comes to this Final mis-taken lives One last time It's goodbye, goodbye all my new days Goodbye, all because of you days Goodbye And it's goodbye, goodbye all my new days Goodbye, all those chosen few days New days Baby maybe someday Maybe one day We'll say hi Baby maybe sometime Maybe next time We'll say hi Baby maybe someday Maybe one day We'll say hi Baby maybe sometime Maybe next time We'll say hi Baby maybe sometime Maybe next time We'll say hi We'll say hi We'll say hi Baby maybe someday Maybe one day We'll say hi

And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by. Sometimes I wonder, how I spend The lonely nights Dreaming of a song The melody Haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale Tells his fairytale Of paradise, where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain.
