All we are is the money earned and the the debts we've paid
All we are is the times we left when we should have stayed

All we are is the thoughts we have staying up till dawn
All we are is the times we stayed when we should have gone

  you know I want you
  you know I want you through care and strife

  you know I need you
  you know I need you to be my wife (in another life)

All we are is a birth and death and the noise between
All we are is a numbered cog in a hot machine

All we are is a single ship in a stormy sea
All we are is electric charges you'll never see

  you know I want you
  you know I want each and every day

  you know I need you
  you know I need you to go away (and then meet halfway)

All we are is the stories told by our own good friends
All we are is the means we've walked to get our ends

All we are is the friction between mom and dad
All we are is the loves we've lost and the hates we have

  you know I want you
  you know I want you
