All That We Get Lyrics

If you're goin' to run, then you better run fast
I've always been told that the good can never last
Only sky above me and water below
The further from you than ever before

So I wait to break
Each memory down as they pass by
We both made our mistakes
And I know there's no tellin' why

I've had dreams of where this life of mine could lead
Pictured stormy romances and heroic dreams
I never thought I'd end where I am
If I know anything, it's nothing goes as planned

Now the sun's comin' up
The world spins on the same old song
I'm still here, I miss my feet
With nothing to fall back upon

What if this is all that we get?
All that is dealt to us
And is that really not enough?
There are many places to go
Faces we'll never know
But I got you and that's enough
That's more than enough

I'm tired of looking for truth for answers
No clue seems to be found as to where I'm bound
Where I'm bound

If you're goin' to run, then you better run fast
I've always been told that the good can never last

But, if this is all that we get
All that is dealt to us
Then is that really not enough?
There are many places to go
Faces we'll never know
But I got you and that's enough
That's more than enough
