Lyrics All I Need Is Everything - Over the Rhine

All I Need Is Everything

Slow down.
Hold still
It’s not as if it’s a matter of will
Someone’s circling.
Someone’s moving
A little lower than the angels
And it’s got nothing to do with me
The wind blows through the trees
But if I look for it, it won’t come
I tense up.
My mind goes numb
There’s nothing harder than learning how to receive
Calm down.
Be still
We’ve got plenty of time to kill
No hand writing on the wall:
Just the voice that’s in us all
And you’re whispering to me
Time to get up off my hands and knees
Cause if I beg for it, it won’t come
I find nothing but table crumbs
My hands are empty.
God I’ve been naive
All I need is everything
Inside, outside, feel new skin
All I need is everything
Feel the slip and the grip of grace again
Slow down.
Hold still
It’s not as if it’s a matter of will
Someone’s circling.
Someone’s moving
A little lower than the angels
This voice calling me to you:
It’s just barely coming through
Still, I clearly hear my name
I’ve been fingering the flame
Like tomorrow’s martyr
It gets harder to believe
All I need is everything
Inside, outside, feel new skin
All I need is everything
Feel the slip and the grip of grace again
So from now till kingdom come
Taste the words on the tip of my tongue
Cause we can’t run truth out of town
Only force it underground
The roots grow deeper
In ways we can’t conceive
All I need is everything
Inside, outside feel new skin
All I need is everything
Feel the slip and the grip of grace again
All I need is all I need
