All Along (Minor Elliot)

With the shape of days to come, Why shoulder off the crowd, why be the only one You called it off; you said its lack of life What a way to cut the air, what a way to spend your night All along, all along, your intention was to run You couldn't be somebody else You longed to be someone, All your colours running off, and you feel it giving up You couldn't be somebody else when the miracle came undone Moving foward into awkward light Ashamed of what you are At peace 'cause you're all right Long live redemption, live it hard and well We raise our glass to you From us all 'Farewell' All along, all along, your intention was to run You couldn't be somebody else You longed to be someone, All your colours running off, and you feel it giving up You couldn't be somebody else when the miracle came undone All for a better life It's bleak in black and white All for a closing line We watched a life pass by All along, all along, your intention was to run You couldn't be someone else You longed to be someone, All your colours running off, and you feel it giving up You couldn't be somebody else when the miracle came undone
