All At Once
Navigating Life's Unpredictable Journey
Lyrics
Some of us will live our lives
Some people will live without a clear purpose or direction.
Like we are just living life on the run
Living life without a specific plan or commitment.
Some of us will die in our old age
Some will pass away in their old age.
Others of us will die young
Others will die at a young age.
But sometimes it feels like I am just
Feeling like making many mistakes in life.
Getting so many things wrong
Sense of nearing the end of life's journey.
It feels like I'm walking down my last mile
Perceiving life as approaching its final moments.
And my God, it just feels so long
Feeling the duration of life acutely.
Please just slow it down
Desire for time to slow down.
I'm walking off these years
Trying to escape the passage of time.
Please just slow it down
Wishing for time to ease emotional pain.
'Cause I can't stand the tears
Unable to endure emotional distress.
But I would not expect you to understand it
Feeling misunderstood by others.
'Cause things never turned out the way we planned it
Life not aligning with initial plans.
I just hoped that I would know you
Desire for connection in life.
And I never have to walk this world alone
Wishing for companionship and support.
I would not expect you to ever notice
Unlikelihood of others understanding the situation.
You never had the time to be overjoyed with me
Lack of time shared for joy.
If you could hear me now, yeah
Desire for acknowledgment if present.
Then I wouldn't want to lose it all at once
Avoiding sudden loss or change.
Some of us will live our lives
Living life reluctantly or hesitantly.
Like we are just dragging our heels through the night
Struggling through life's difficulties.
Some of us will stay in the darkest holes
Some remaining in challenging circumstances.
And some of us will find the light
Finding hope or positivity amidst darkness.
And sometimes it feels like I am just
Feeling inadequate or unsuccessful in life.
Getting so many things wrong
Repeating the sense of making mistakes.
It feels like I'm walking down my last mile
Sensing life nearing its conclusion.
And my God, it just feels so long
Feeling the length of life profoundly.
Please just slow it down
Asking for time to pass slowly.
I'm walking off these years
Trying to escape the passage of time.
Please just slow it down
Wishing to avoid emotional pain.
'Cause I can't stand the tears
Unable to endure emotional distress.
But I would not expect you to understand it
Feeling misunderstood by others.
'Cause things never turned out the way we planned it
Life not going according to plans.
I just hoped that I would know you
Desire for companionship and understanding.
And I never have to walk this world alone
Wishing not to face life's challenges alone.
I would not expect you to ever notice
Unlikelihood of others understanding the situation.
You never had the time to be overjoyed with me
Lack of shared joyful experiences.
If you could hear me now, yeah
Desire for acknowledgment if present.
Then I wouldn't want to lose it all at once
Seeking to avoid sudden loss or change.
