All the Time - Nick Nelson

Standing on the edge of the Palisades' Cliffs In the shadow of the skyline very far away Like a lightning rod that couldn? t pull the storm from me I was 5 years old, my best friend's older brother died He fell from these cliffs The river washed him away, the current pulled him downstream And our lives float in the headlines, so we park these cars Parent? s garage listen to the lullaby Of carbon monoxide War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags If the sun doesn't rise We'll replace it with an H-bomb explosion A painted jail cell of light in the sky Like three mile island nightmares On TVs that sing us to sleep They burn on and on like an oil field Or a memory of what it felt like To burn on and on and not just fade away All those nights in the basement The kids are still screaming On and on and on and on War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags And we? re blowing in the wind We don? t know where to land So we kiss like little kids We used to be very tall buildings We? ve been falling for so long Now your eyes are a sign on the edge of town They offer a welcome when you are leaving War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags The pieces fall it? s like a last day parade And the fires in our streets start to rage So wave to those people who long to wave back From the fabric of a flag that sang, "Love all of the time" War all the time, war all the time All of the time War all the time, war all the time All of the time, all of the time War all of the time, war all of the time War all of the time, war all of the time

Those that try anything once Should we care about the only ones? All the time that I need is never quite enough All the time that I have is all that's necessary You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're living too fast You gotta pray for the best You never ask why You never ask why You're living a lie Baby you're flying too high No one talks, about the war On my blood, or by the shore All alone in a room Do you want what I want too? All the time in the world Is all that's necessary You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're living too fast You gotta pray for the best You never ask why You never ask why You're living a lie Baby you're flying too high You never ask why You never ask why You're livin' a lie Baby you're flying too high Don't get on the phone Don't reach for the door You know the answer that you're looking for You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're living too fast You gotta pray for the best You never ask why You never ask why You're livin' a lie Baby you're flying too high

So you caught a glimpse of someone you once knew, And it seem to find it hard to face the truth, Oh, but that don't make it right, To be wantin' me tonight, When your thoughts on love keep changing all the time.
