All I Need Is Everything - Over the Rhine

All I Need Is Everything Lyrics

Slow down, hold still
It's not as if it's a matter of will
Someone's circling, someone's moving
A little lower than the angelsAnd it's got nothing to do with me
The wind blows through the trees
But if I look for it, it won't come
I tense up, my mind goes numbThere's nothing harder
Than learning how to receiveCalm down, be still
We've got plenty of time to kill
No hand writing on the wall
Just the voice that's in us allAnd you're whispering to me
Time to get up off my hands and knees
'Cause if I beg for it, it won't come
I find nothing but table crumbsMy hands are empty
God, I've been naiveAll I need is everything
Inside, outside, feel new skin
All I need is everything
Feel the slip and the grip of grace againSlow down, hold still

It's not as if it's a matter of will
Someone's circling, someone's moving
A little lower than the angelsThis voice calling me to you
It's just barely coming through
Still, I clearly hear my name
I've been fingering the flameLike tomorrow's martyr
It gets harder to believeAll I need is everything
Inside, outside, feel new skin
All I need is everything
Feel the slip and the grip of grace againSo from now till kingdom come
Taste the words on the tip of my tongue
'Cause we can't run truth out of town
Only force it undergroundThe roots grow deeper
In ways we can't conceiveAll I need is everything
Inside, outside feel new skin
All I need is everything
Feel the slip and the grip of grace againAll I need is, all I need
All I need, all I need is
All I need is, all need
All I need, all I need is
All I need
