Over The Rhine All I Need Is Everything Lyrics

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
All I need, all I need is
All I need is, all need
All I need, all I need is
All I need
