All That I Can Give
Journey of Redemption: All That I Can Give by Swingin' Utters
Lyrics
I took so many roads to find you
I went through various paths to find you
Full of dead ends and one way streets
Encountered many failures and unproductive routes
It took some luck just to get near you
Luck played a role in getting close to you
I like to believe it was destiny
I prefer to think it was destined for us to meet
Come to me, mine
Addressing the person as "mine," expressing intimacy
I've so many things to show you
Inviting the person to experience things together
Come to me, mine
Reiterating the invitation, emphasizing the personal connection
There's so much I have to tell you
Expressing the desire to share personal thoughts and feelings
My heros have fallen, been abandoned
Acknowledging the fall of personal heroes and their abandonment
I'd rather walk in my own shoes
Preferencing independence and staying true to oneself
Most of my idols have just vanished
Noting the disappearance of admired figures
Cleared Dusty shelves for something new
Making space for new influences and experiences
Come to me, mine
Repeating the invitation, suggesting a guiding light
Follow the light that I left shining
Encouraging the person to follow a positive path
Come to me, mine
Reiterating the call to come closer
Accept all that I am offering
Offering everything the speaker has
I took so many drugs to see you
Referencing drug use to connect with the person
But ended up staring at my feet
Resulting in self-absorption and not reaching the goal
Took up with derelicts and toyed with
Engaging with questionable characters and behaviors
Manipulation and conceit
Playing with manipulation and arrogance
My days are numbered, as are your, dear
Acknowledging the limited time for both the speaker and the person
We're all aboard a stinking ship
Metaphorically describing life as a challenging journey
I'm making all I can of mine, love
Optimistically making the best of the speaker's life
I'm giving all that I can give
Expressing a commitment to give everything possible
Come to me, mine
Repeating the invitation and commitment
I'm making all I can of mine, love
Reiterating the effort to make the best of the speaker's life
Come to me, mine
Emphasizing the invitation and the dedication to giving
I'm giving all that I can give you, love
Stating the speaker's commitment to giving all possible love
