Everything I Once Had (EP version) Lyrics
Everything I...
You were everything I once had
The bar on First Avenue, we went there solely for you
So you can flirt with my best friend
Kiss a girl, tell me why you're laughing
I wont hold on to this
There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed for six long months
There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed
For six long months
I won't hold on to this
February, Valentines Day,
did my best to avoid the red clichés
So you dumped me on the subway,
on my way to work at nine in the morning
Everybody else was holding bouquets
Now I'm holding my face in the basement
Scratching away for a trace
Of affection you will leave
Falling victim as the public’s prey
I wont hold on
I can't hold on
I won't hold on to this
Saw a silhouette, the perfection
The outline of my dream
The blur that made everything
I had them put it all to shame
I just won't hold on to this
Anyone is suitable for you, I guess, tonight
You weren't fazed
It’s over with
You my beautiful
You weren't fazed
It’s over with you my beautiful
With your beautiful blue and white
You were everything I once had
The bar on First Avenue, we went there solely for you
So you can flirt with my best friend
Kiss a girl, tell me why you're laughing
There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed for six long months
There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed
For six long months
February, Valentines Day,
did my best to avoid the red clichés
So you dumped me on the subway,
on my way to work at nine in the morning
Everybody else was holding bouquets
Now I'm holding my face in the basement
Scratching away for a trace
Of affection you will leave
Falling victim as the public’s prey
I can't hold on
I won't hold on to this
The outline of my dream
The blur that made everything
I had them put it all to shame
You weren't fazed
It’s over with
You my beautiful
You weren't fazed
It’s over with you my beautiful
With your beautiful blue and white

i love that extra verse in it. it just gives it a something special from the other version.
I love the honorary title and I personally think this version is better than the other but that is debatable. It reminds me of my ex, though i dont really know what its about. great song though.
personally i heard this version after i heard the lp version i love how much rawer the music is and i do love the extra verse but this may just be because i havent heard it as much as the other parts but yeah i love both versions and cant say which more
i definitely like this version better, i never noticed that there were two different versions.. and honestly i don't even know which one i've been listening to for weeks now.
such a great song.
& the more i let the extra verse sink in.. the more i cannot understand why you would take out such a amazing section of a song.
moar soul? one of my favorites.
