Not Everything

{driving acoustic

guitar riff} {warm

Rhodes piano chords entering} {soft,

steady live drums groove}

She wants to talk about her mother

Then asks me why I never call my friends

She wants a movie night on Friday

Then wonders why the weekend always ends

She needs a listener at midnight

A partner and a plan for Saturday

I want to be enough for all of it

But all of it is heavy for one name I

can't be

everything you need And you

can't be it all for me

We built a world for only two

And blamed each other for the missing view I used to have

a life around us

People I would call without a reason

Somewhere in the merging of our worlds

I let my own go out of season

Now I'm holding you

responsible

For the loneliness I built myself

Asking you

to fill the rooms

I emptied when I chose nobody

else (ooh) I

can't be

everything you need And you

can't be it all for me

We built a world for only two And blamed each other for

the missing view

The pressure isn't you,

it's the math

One person carrying

the whole half

We don't need less of what we have

We need more of what we lost

out there

You

don't have

to be

everything I need

And I won't try to be it all for you

Let's build a world that's bigger than us two

And meet each other with

a better view
