All This and Heaven Too Lyrics & Tabs by Florence + The Machine
All This and Heaven Too
guitar chords lyrics
And my heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs,
And prayers and proclamations
In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures,
In short shallow gasps
But with all my education I can't seem to command it
And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can't seem to understand it
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
‘Cause I've been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all
And it talks to me on tiptoes
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
‘Cause I've been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all
And it talks to me on tiptoes
And it sings to me inside
It cries out in the darkest night
And breaks in the morning light
But with all my education I can't seem to command it
And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can't seem to understand it
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
‘Cause I've been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
‘Cause I've been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all
No, words are a language
That doesn't deserve such treatment
And all of my stumbling phrases never amounted to anything worth this feeling
All this heaven never could describe such a feeling as I'm healing
Words were never so useful
So I was screaming out a language that I never knew existed before.
