All Or Nothing Lyrics

When I first saw you standing there
You know, was a little hard not to stare
So nervous when I drove you home
I know, being apart's a little hard to bare

Send some flowers to your work in hopes that I'd have you in my arms again
We kissed that night before I left
Still now, was something I can never forget
You've got all that I need

Looking at all or nothing
Babe, it's you and I
With you, I know that I'm good for something
So, let's go and give it a try

We've got our backs against the ocean
It's just us against the world
Looking at all or nothing
Babe, it's you and I
Looking at all or nothing
Babe, it's you and I

Let's take a chance
Go far away today
And never look back again
Since I said I loved you in Las Vegas
It's never been the same since then
You've got all that I need

Looking at all or nothing
Babe, it's you and I
With you, I know that I'm good for something
So, let's go and give it a try

We've got our backs against the ocean
It's just us against the world
Looking at all or nothing
Babe, it's you and I
Looking at all or nothing
Babe, it's you and I

This is it
Nothing to hide
One more kiss
Never say goodbye
This is it
Babe, you're all mine

Looking at all or nothing
Babe, it's you and I
I know that I'm good for something
So let's go and give it a try
Got our backs against the ocean
It's just us against the world

Looking at all or nothing
Babe, it's you and I
With you I know that I'm good for something
So, let's go and give it a try
We've got our backs against the ocean
It's just us against the world

Looking at all or nothing
Babe, it's you and I
Looking at all or nothing
Babe, it's you and I
It's you and I

This song is such a great love song. I play in a band, and our lead singer and I have known each other for years...but it was not until the summer of 2010 when she and I ran into each other again, and got to talking about how we both wanted to be in a new band, that she and I really started spending a LOT of time with each other...our band mates were all asking us, "are y'all dating", to which she and I always played coy about the question. They finally caught us one night after practice...they caught us kissing...so we had to tell them. She knows how to make a bad day good for me with just a smile. She just really seems to get me, and I get her. The song just really fits my relationship.

I'd definitely support fragile's view. Regardless of what the music video has, it sounds like they're having problems with a long distance relationship, or facing another hardship against them. ("We've got our backs against the ocean, It's just us against the world" - No one is there for them but themselves, and the world is fighting against them.) He tells her that they can have "All or Nothing," no halfway doing that kind of relationship, but he really feels that they have something together.

They aren't sure that they can weather the distance from each other, but they try anyway ("Being apart's a little hard to bear" / "With you, I know that I'm good for something So let's go give it a try"). For this couple, it works out.

Beautiful song, however interpreted.

I kinda have a different interpretation of the song...I think that when he says "you can have all or nothing" he's telling her that those are her only options in regards to him. Either they've everything or nothing, but there's no in-between. He wants her and only her, and needs to know she feels the same way...my opinion at least.

i cant beleive no ones commented this dude

with her he feels like hes worth something. and its no one but him and her. thats all he cares about. fuck everyone else the only one he needs is her to get by in life. all hands down.

its a pretty song :] theory of a deadman did a damn good job on this CD

amazing song, obviously it's about a boy whose in love with a girl who makes him feel worth while, and he just wants to be with her forever.

i really hate how theory of a deadman is so underrated.

I agree, the US need more of T.O.A.D. and less of degrading and offensive music.

great song he falls in love with a girl and they get married

This song is just beautiful. Honestly, when I first heard it, with the solo piano and a somewhat sad tone, I assumed this song was going to be something about being heartbroken or depression, or something of the sort.

But, this song is the complete opposite. The meaning is as clear as the background of this website: True Love. A boy simply falls in love with a girl, courts her with flowers and travel together and such, then eventually they get married (This is it Nothing to hide One more kiss Never say goodbye).

All in all, beautiful song and reminds me of my "friend" Maggie. I hope this song will be our future too, but college has me so swamped and stuff I don't have time to think. But I do have time to spend, and that's with her. =)
