All We Are Lyrics

Cover art for All We Are lyrics by OneRepublic

I don't see why people seem to think every song ever written is about a breakup...

I think that the song may be about confrontation in a relationship about a problem that he's finding with the person he's confronting, whether that be a girlfriend or just a friend it doesn't matter, and that when he tried to "paint the picture" (show what's wrong) they take it the wrong way and a lot of tension is caused. This songs about him pleading that he doesn't want to lose them, just to try and work out what's wrong.
