about

If you'd like to know about the inspiration behind this track, there's a blog post that I published shortly after the album came out: anthonytoner.net/anthonys-blog/2011/5/22/10-days-10-songs-all-of-the-above.html

lyrics

All of the Above

All the happy couples that you meet,
walking up and down Bedford Street,
they can fill you with a sense of defeat,
if you don’t beware.
It can be a kind of danger zone,
just walking around on your own.
They’re blowing kisses into mobile phones,
so you better take care.

CHORUS
Why are you avoiding love?
What is it you’re so scared of?
Is it the fear that it won’t be enough?
To be the hand instead of the glove –
all of the above?

You used to think that it was easy to take,
being lonely was a piece of cake.
Now you listen to your heart break,
a little every day.
So you say you can’t take any more.
You put a lock upon your every door,
like nobody felt this before –
you’re leading the way.

CHORUS

You better take your heart out, baby,
and let it get kicked around.
before it flies, it has to hit the ground.

CHORUS
