all the light

lyrics

if i wasn't myself
wonder if i'd be
someone's little wife
happy
and if i didn't know
what it was like
to be in love
would it be easy
because i thought it would pay
to give my love away

no one's got the right
to make me small
to turn me to stone
after all
i wanna be strong
want my mouth to be mine
instead of a curse
i can't explain
because i thought it would pay
to give my love away
loosen up my hips
tighten up my lips

but he's just another man
juggling skulls
don't let him get to you, babe
it's just another day
in a woman's skin
nothing that you can do, babe
but stand in the crowd
stare them all down

all the light that i have will die

lying in the grass
looking up at the clouds
falling into blue
but i'm thinking about
how i thought it would work
to let myself be hurt
get closer to the earth
nestle in the dirt

but it's just another man
juggling skulls
don't let it get to you, babe
it's just another day
in a woman's skin
nothing that you can do, babe
because when you want something
you feel it aching
it comes at you sideways
it leaves you waiting
with all the light takes
and all the leaves shake
and all the earth quakes
and all the world makes of a girl
who wanted it all
yells in the crowd
tears the wall down
