All This Could Be Yours Lyrics

I've been a silent partner, I've been your shrink
I have heard your sad luck misfortune speech but
I'll have sympathy when you get off your seat
Before this bitterness becomes a disease

I have cracked the code on this old machine
Ten thousand hours to be released
But I have been wondering why can't you see
When the door opens up, go where it leads

I have been waiting for you to find
All of this could be yours, be yours tonight

You are packing up but I gave you a bed
You would rather crash than go straight ahead
I wrote this years ago but it's finished today
With the help of a friend who's fearless to say

And I have been waiting but you need a sign
All of this could be yours, be yours tonight
I have been patient but you've got to try
All of this could be yours, be yours tonight

Could be yours...
Could be yours...
Could be yours...

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.

he knows her so well he could be her shrink, her partner in everything 'her' -but has been a silent partner. He knows but no one else does, that he has been her partner. He knows how she works. He still doesn't understand why she doesn't realize he is the one for her. If she stays tonight and they open a new door together (seeing eachother romantically) He hopes she goes wherever it leads with him. Hes been waiting for her to realize this. All this, all of him, could be hers. Hes BEEN patient, and he knows he wants her, but she has to meet him half way - she has to try. This is what I currently get from this song, how I relate to it, how it moves me. Is this what the writer meant? I don't know. Will it mean something different to me a year from now - maybe. If it does I will write that too :) ps - this band is great. Soulful.
