All Or Nothing

Love, why did you run
And call my body poison
I wanted a love that would keep
It was all or nothing
In a poplar tree my hopes got caught
And then you broke my heart
And the branches bent just out of reach
It was all or nothing
I’m going to be just fine
I’ll travel down my crooked line
With these images in my head
Of you lying beside me
I still have your old t-shirt
It’s starting to smell like dust
And I barely remember your name
It was all or nothing
I’m going to be just fine
I’ll travel down my crooked line
With these images in my head
Of you lying beside me
Walking down Huntington Avenue
Since you’ve gone my steps have turned heavy
Yet I don’t regret a thing
As long as there is spring I’ll love again
So when the crowd gathered to see the holy end
I loved so hard I broke in half
And my heart shrivelled to potpourri
But it was all or nothing
All or nothing, all or nothing…
I’m going to be just fine
I’ll travel down my crooked line
With these images in my head
Of you lying beside me
