Lyrics by Sam West
A Million Times (All On You)
Were you wondering if I'd go along?
Stand here as if nothing's wrong?
A million times I've carried you through
A million and one now it's back to just you
It's all on you
I am the waves that crash at high tide
As you walk the beach, I'm the sand in your eyes
I am the bricks strapped on your back
As you climb the hill, I'm the breath you lack
I am the dark creases in your face
As the tears well up, I'm your fall from grace
I am the despair that you just can't stand
As you reach for hope, I'm the sand in your hands
Na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na
Chorus:
It's all on you to make me right
It's all on you to keep me light
It's all on you to change my mind
It's all on you to rewind time
I am the lightning that strikes nearby
As you run for cover, I'm the thunder that fills the sky
I am the chains wrapped around your legs
As you struggle free, I'm the screaming in your head
Na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na
It's all on you to take a breath
It's all on you to avoid our death
It's all on you to change your mind
It's all on you to just unwind
Were you wondering if I'd go along?
Stand here as if nothing's wrong?
A million times I've carried you through
A million and one now it's all on you.
Love it, Aaron! :)
