I Want It All Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see a river
It's oceans that I want
You have to give me everything
Everything's not enough

[Pre-Chorus]
It's my desire
To give myself to you, sometimes

[Chorus]
Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie, with you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die, it's true
Somewhere I find
Something that's kind

[Verse 2]
And I've crossed the line again
A line I drew in sand
Still, you give me everything
And everything's not enough

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm ready, but not willing
To give myself to you, sometimes
[Chorus]
Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie, with you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die, it's true
Somewhere I find
Something that's kind

[Bridge]
Come on over, lay down beside me
And I'll try
Come on over, lay down beside me
And I'll try, and I'll try

[Outro]
I want it all

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
