Dido — All I See

[Verse 1: Dido] I thought it was done when I packed my bags and walked into the light I picked the books I thought I should and closed the door behind And when I handed back the keys, I thought that I was free No shame, no dirt, no surprises wait for me [Chorus: Dido] I want to believe that where I began is not where I'll always be But you're all I see and I carry you with me You're all I see and I carry you with me [Verse 2: Pete Miser] Thought it was safe to assume once I locked up the room That I'd be gone for good, but I would be back soon Memories burned out still I'm smelling the fumes Melodies turned down still I'm singing the tunes Like a witch on a broom, I wish I could fly fly away Disappear into the ether, find a hideaway But the memories invade when I lie awake Can't hide from yourself is what I'm trying to say And by the way, what would I be without my past? Only find the right number when I doubt my math Avoid blunders only after I recount my last Setbacks that don't kill me just amount to laughs Anyway, if I could turn back the hands of time Would I change the events or change my mind? Wouldn't recognize myself without my doubts and fears Got a feeling all I need is all right here [Chorus: Dido] And you're all I see and I carry you with me You're all I see and I carry you with me You're all I see and I carry you with me [Verse 3: Pete Miser] I've been told apples don't fall far from the tree I hope they're wrong when they're talking about me All I see are the ruins of a plan gone wrong All I need is a reason to keep on and stay strong Gotta couple old ghosts that won't leave me alone Even after moving three thousand miles from home Thought I shook 'em when I hit Brooklyn wasn't even looking But they're putting their mark on everything I do Find a few quiet moments and they creep back through Infiltrated my dreams and held my sleep back too I don't know where I could go without them following me It seems everywhere I look they're all I see [Chorus: Dido] You're all I need You're all I need You're all I see and I carry you with me You're all I see and I carry you with me
