I Feel You Lyrics

All or nothing, love is war
Take everything, you want more
Ebb and flow, unsteady beat
No surrender, no retreat

All or nothing, love is war
Remember who you’re fighting for
Never get what you came for
I feel you, and that’s for sure

All or nothing, love is war
Take everything, you want more
Ebb and flow, unsteady beat
No surrender, no retreat

All or nothing, love is war
Remember who you’re fighting for
Never get what you came for
I feel you, and that’s for sure

Been walking straight, been walking narrow
Shot through the eye by cupid’s arrow
Don’t know if I’ve seen the real you
But I feel you, yeah I feel you

Chaos reigns in Atlantis, under the sea
Like some praying mantis, she’s got eyes for me
You’re waiting for someone to reveal you
But I feel you, yeah I feel you

All or nothing, love is war
Take everything, it wants more

All or nothing, love is war
Remember who you’re fighting for

Now you spurn my advances, like some beggar on fire
Say you’re not taking chances on a fool and a liar
You think this fog will conceal you
But I feel you, yeah I feel you

Last night I dreamt Leonard Cohen, handed me a bag a money
Said my Achilles heel is showing, but I didn’t find it funny
He said “Beware of those who might steal from you”
But I feel you, yeah I feel you

All or nothing, love is war
Take everything, it wants more

All or nothing, love is war
Remember who you’re fighting for

I’ll give you anything you want
No more pretending, no more
It’s all or nothing, this is war

All or nothing, love is war
Take everything, it wants more

All or nothing, love is war
Remember who you’re fighting for

All or nothing, love is war
Take everything, it wants more

Don’t go hiding anymore
Remember who you’re fighting for

All or nothing, love is war

All or nothing, love is war
Take everything, it wants more

Don’t go hiding anymore
Remember who you’re fighting for

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think Sam looks upon Leonard as an idol. He was a famous singer-songwriter, musican, poet, and novelist. I also found this excerpt from Wikipedia that might explain the reference that you were inquiring about :

2005 bankruptcy

"On 8 October 2005, Cohen alleged that his longtime former manager, Kelley Lynch, misappropriated over US $5 million from Cohen's retirement fund leaving only $150,000.[36] Cohen was sued in turn by other former business associates.[36] These events placed him in the public spotlight, including a cover feature on him with the headline "Devastated!" in Canada's Maclean's magazine.[37] In March 2006, Cohen won the civil suit and was awarded US $9 million by a Los Angeles County superior court. Lynch, however, ignored the suit and did not respond to a subpoena issued for her financial records.[38] As a result it has been widely reported that Cohen may never be able to collect the awarded amount.[39] In 2007, U.S. District Judge Lewis T. Babcock dismissed a claim by Cohen for more than US $4.5 million against Colorado investment firm Agile Group, and in 2008 he dismissed a defamation suit that Agile Group filed against Cohen.[40] Cohen has been under new management since April 2005."

The line, 'Beware of those who might steal from you', makes sense given the financial loss Leonard sustained at the hands of his former manager......5 million US dollars is a lot to have taken from you, even by today's standards.

thats why he says "my Achilles heel is showing" because hes saying to sam that hes showing vulnerabilities. Hes learning from Cohens mistakes.

Amazing song! I Feel You almost sounds like it was written during the Chemical City sessions, doesn't it?
