Lyrics

[Intro: Jane Tyrell] Oh Ay-ay (Listen) (Listen, listen) Oh-oh (Listen, listen) (Listen, listen) [Verse 1: Mantra] You understood my unusual view and I knew I could only see a future with you All the plans I was makin', they included us too We spoke a beautiful truth like The Roots and Badu, you got me You got how I got this way Even when I was not able to concentrate For all the things detrimental goin' on in my brain You were the only reason I would never stop to complain At the end of a horrible day, full of problems and pain Would sit watchin' the rain, and watch it wash 'em away No apologies made A middle finger to the planet if they're sorry we came I often think about how close we probably came Now I'm drownin' in my sorrows again Now I'm drownin' in my sorrows again [Chorus: Mantra & Jane Tyrell] All the things that we gone and been through All the things that we went and did All the things that we gon' regret soon All those lives we never lived [Post-Chorus: Jane Tyrell, Mantra & Jane Tyrell] Listen, listen (We never lived) Listen, listen (We never lived) Listen, listen (We never lived) Listen, listen (We never lived) Listen, listen Listen, listen Listen, listen Listen, listen [Verse 2: Mantra, Jane Tyrell] You still keep me smilin' from day to day Memories are like Larry Bird, I watch 'em shine as they fade away 'Cause they the same, fall the way that we relate and elate Feels like love done led us to hate And they say that it's all fair With such malevolent metaphors as love and warfare But on the contrary, it's various sides of love and all of its variants That lead us to the scariest areas Then when it's starin' us dead in the retinas That's when our affair will eventually bury us (Oh) Still so unprepared to remember it Desperate through all our endeavours I was never intrepid Forever more scared than adventurous Aware o' everythin' out there that could threaten us Tryna balance up the debts and the deficits But never stuck around long enough for the benefits [Chorus: Mantra & Jane Tyrell, Jane Tyrell] All the things that we gone and been through All the things that we went and did All the things that we gon' regret soon All those lives we never lived All the things that we gone and been through All the things that we went and did ([?]) All the things that we gon' regret soon All those lives we never lived [Post-Chorus: Jane Tyrell, Mantra & Jane Tyrell] Listen, listen (We never lived) Listen, listen (We never lived) Listen, listen (We never lived) Listen, listen (We never lived, we never lived) Listen, listen Listen, listen Listen, listen Listen, listen
