Lyrics:
Red Demo version:
An angel kissed my strings while I slept last night
And her rhythm broke my hunger and I died a little less
I just want to get some, get some while I'm still tall
Oh, let's tell the world we're unheard, we're unsure
We're unstop, we're unstoppable, oh
(Let's tell the girls to be strong, to be sure)
(To be heard, we want to be heard)
And you're all, you're all I want
Yes, you're all I want
So tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, where have you been?
Oh, an angel kissed my hands while I slept last night
And when I woke up this morning
God, I missed you something fierce
I just want to get some, get some while I'm still tall
Oh, let's tell the world we're unheard, we're unsure
We're unstop, we're unstoppable, oh
(Let's tell the girls to be strong, to be sure)
(To be heard, we want to be heard)
And you're all, you're all I want
Yes, you're all I want
So tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, where have you been?
Fashion isn't dead, no it's just inside out
She says she needs a priest, wants to get closer to god
I said all I need's a ladder, I want to touch the sky
Do you want it all? Do you want it all?
Do you want it all? Do you want it all?
And you're heavy in my heart
You're heavy in my hands
You're heavy in my mouth
Yes, you're heavy in my throat
You're heavy in my songs
You're heavy in my light
Oh let's tell the world we're unheard, we're unsure
We're unstop, we're unstoppable, oh
(Let's tell the girls to be strong, to be sure)
(To be heard, we want to be heard)
And you're all, you're all I want
Yes, you're all I want
Oh you’re all that I want, oh you’re all that I want
Oh you’re all that I want, oh you’re all that I want
Oh you’re all that I want
Under Feet Like Ours version:
An angel kissed my strings while I slept last night
And her rhythm broke my hunger and I died a little less
Well I just want to get some, get some while I'm still tall
Oh, let's tell the world we're unheard, we're unsure
We're unstop, we're unstoppable, oh
(Let's tell the girls to be strong, to be sure)
(To be heard, we want to be heard)
And you're all, you're all I want
Yeah, all I want
So tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, where have you been?
Well, an angel kissed my hands while I slept last night
And when I woke up this morning
God, I missed you something fierce
I just want to get some, get some while I'm still tall
Oh, let's tell the world we're unheard, we're unsure
We're unstop, we're unstoppable, oh
(Let's tell the girls to be strong, to be sure)
(To be heard, we want to be heard)
And you're all, you're all I want
Yeah, all I want
So tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, where have you been?
Fashion isn't dead
No it's just inside out, it’s just inside out
She says she needs a priest, wants to get closer to god
I say all I need's a ladder, I want to touch your sky
Do you want it all? Do you want it all?
Do you want me at all? Do you want it all?
And you're heavy in my heart
You're heavy in my hands
You're heavy in my mouth
Yes, you're heavy in my day
You're heavy in my songs
You're heavy in my light
And you’re all that I want
Yeah you’re all that I want
Yeah you’re all that I want
God, you’re all that I want
Oh you’re all I want
