All I Can Lyrics

The sun is at stake
and I'm at your window
Beyond all sleep and I can't speak
In all Tokyo, translate memories
that I cannot free,
but what will it take?
We all make mistakes.
We all try to free
The sighs of the past
We don't want to last.
Need love erase to let out my mind?
Wanting to love as new as I can,
Wanting to show I want my scars to help and heal.
How much you wanted
so much you found

Try not to beg too much to be
Calling my heart and know you are real
But my memory steals every moment I can feel
What will it take?

We all make mistakes.
Even though I try to 'stand
Even though it's slowly
I do all I can
But who is my man?
The memory or you?
The love or the due?
To carry a face (I cannot retrace)?
I do all I can.
We all make mistakes.

Cover art for All I Can lyrics by Sharon Van Etten

live, it always sounds like she's saying "the sun is at stake." on the album, i'm not sure... perhaps "the sun is out to stay."
also not positive about "the love overdue"

then it sounded like she was saying "the memory OR you," rather than OF you.... which makes sense in response to "but who is my man?"

and instead of "the love overdue," i now hear "the love oughta do"

the truly disturbing part is that i just received the album in the mail today, so i could just look at the lyrics... i just don't want to yet.
