All Or Nothing Kind Of Love

Folder: 
2005 - 2006

February fourteenth, I heard you spent it alone

A friend of yours must have told a friend of mine

Though, it’s possible the source could go forgotten

It’s impossible to say whether my message got to you

I guess I’ll never know

It’s nothing new



Yesterday I saw you by pure happenstance

And as we stood there I let your face and my silence speak

The air’s funny like that, in the way it tells us everything

Leaving nothing to chance, in that it’s telling us nothing new

I guess forgiveness hasn’t found us

It’s nothing new



It was an all or nothing kind of love

The kind that isn’t found when it’s gone

The type that is always bitter in song

But full up on high and low emotions

Mostly low, when all is said and done

All or nothing is no kind of love



This newly found love of mine won’t so easily slip now

I’m sound in mind and bound with intention to make it last

I do recall, though, now that’s what I said about us

We were just a penny in a long dead wishing well

But now those circumstances do not stand

This is something new



It's not an all or nothing kind of love

It's not the kind that isn’t found when it’s gone

It's the type that is never bitter in song

And even full up of high and low emotions

In the end it's the mountains left standing

Cause all or nothing is no kind of love



Yesterday I saw you, again pure happenstance

You were fumbling over all your so-called polite lines

Like, “How’ve you been,”  and “I hope you’re doing well.”



It was an all or nothing kind of love

Though in the kind of love I'm in now

I’d give nothing, said, nothing but my all



“How’ve you been? I hope you’re doing fine.”
