Charlie Wood - It All and Everything Lyrics

They’ve been some good times
There’s been some bad times
But mostly they’ve been in-between

I have seen love come
And I have seen love go
And if I knew the reason why
I would sure tell you so

If I was in a play by Sophocles
There’d be miracles and calamities
There’d be subplots and sub-subplots
Intrigue and suspicion

But this show is just a jumble
Of sweet talk and profanities
Unrehearsed, disjointed scenes
And a damned long intermission

So I build my little fence
Between the dreams and the events
Just to try and make some sense
Of it all and everything

There’ve been some bright smiles
There’ve been some crying eyes
But mostly they’ve been empty stares

I’ve put on my same face
Same my same “hello”s
When I’m alone I throw it off
Like some old dirty clothes

I’d like to think that all the folks I see
Way deep down they’re just the same as me
They’ve had doubts and fears and secret hopes
And love that’s unrequited

So I scan my radar for the blip
Of a castaway from the mother ship
But from horizon to horizon
No survivors have been sighted

Are they wizards? Are they imps?
Are they highfalutin’ chimps?
Can they help me catch a glimpse
Of it all and everything?

There’ve been some big days
There’ve been some nothing days
But mostly they’ve been days on end

Find me some clean shorts
Turn ‘em right side out
This is as close as I have come
To what it’s all about

If life’s more than simply living it
Than forgetting it and forgiving it
And for the sake of conversation
Let’s pretend that this is true

When I’ve found that mystic certainty
That all-encompassing reality
Once I’ve got it in my pocket
What the hell’m I s’posed to do?

It can get to be a bore
It can seem an awful chore
but, just the same, I’ll take some more
Of it all and everything
Just the same I’ll take some more
Of it all and everything
