You Can Have It All Lyrics

If you want, want my love
Take it baby
If you want, want my heart
Take it baby
You can have it all

If you want, want my time
Take it baby
And if you want my last dime
Take it bay
You can have it all

Take it baby, you can have it all

this song will always remind me of that springtime in phoenix when justin and i finally kissed like mad starving wolves and rolled all over his bed covered in dog hair sweating like every day only better two friends turned lovers before moving to separate coasts

@greenlady81 that was beautiful

I get shivers every time I hear this song. If you listen to it on headphones you can hear that there are actually two guys sharing the ba ba ba ba ba bits, alternating between them, because the bas come through the left then the right earpiece :)

It's about having been hurt in the past. When you fall in love, you give yourself up to the other person. You make yourself completely vulnerable at the other person's expense. He has been hurt in the past, and is deciding "screw it, I love this person too much to care about how I got hurt in the past." To me, it sounds like there is a bit of hesitance in the song, like he somehow knows that he will be hurt again, but he is too smitten to care, so he hopes for the best and takes down all of his walls.

I completely agree subterranean_summer. And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out makes me happier than any other album by any artist.
