All In Lyrics

Not to say anything against the romance comments bc that's what I believed too, but the only radio station I've heard this song continue to play on and recently heard is a Christian station, and in the link it's the first song a band member comments on, and if you listen carefully he says it's about committing yourself fully to something, but not what your committing to, he never says a relationship with another human or girl. Take that as you may, I'm not Christian but the song definitely as those undertones to it.

However I will continue to think of my commitment of the song talking about finally confessing to someone that you love them after losing them, giving one final shot and telling them that you truly love them even if it's hard for you to show it when you have so many walls (or defenses) up around your heart. And for them, you're gonna break down all those defenses to tell them how you feel about them because you'd rather be defenseless with them than live another day without them. And may be even purposing, or like offering a promise ring to them with your words, because you want them to know you betting your heart on them, that you want to be with only her/him for life.

Song Meaning

@srsmith9403 this happened to me. I failed. Not excatly though. He was in love with my cousin at the time. She rejected him. I felt sorry for him because I know he still loves her. We r still good freinds and we tell eachother everything!:) so even if you go 'all in' and you lose, it doesnt mean you've actually lost! Anyway, awesome song! Lifehouse rulz!
