  • I'm following the sun
    That's setting in the West
    We're floating on a bed of fading lights

    A canopy of trees
    Bears witness to the breeze
    I'm falling like a feather, soft and light

    Baby, there's no better time
    No better time, baby, we can't find
    Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa

    With eternal love, the stars above
    All there is and ever was
    I want it all, I want it all
    I want it all, I want it all
    A blade of grass, a grain of sand
    The moonlit sea, to hold your hand
    I want it all, I want it all
    I want it all, I want it all

    The embers of a fire still burning as they die
    Stay bright to keep us side by side

    Baby, there's no better time
    No better time, baby, we can't find
    Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa

    With eternal love, the stars above
    All there is and ever was
    I want it all, I want it all
    I want it all, I want it all
    A blade of grass, a grain of sand
    The moonlit sea, to hold your hand
    I want it all, I want it all
    I want it all, I want it all

    With eternal love, the stars above
    All there is and ever was
    I want it all, I want it all
    I want it all, I want it all
    A blade of grass, a grain of sand
    The moonlit sea, to hold your hand
    I want it all, I want it all
    I want it all, I want it all

    We got the sunshine
    We got the shade
    We got temptation
    We got it made
    We got rewarded
    We got refused
    We got distorted
    We got confused
    We got the sunshine
    We got the shade
    I want it all, I want it all
    I want it all, I want it all

    With eternal love, the stars above
    All there is and ever was
    I want it all, I want it all
    I want it all, I want it all
    A blade of grass, a grain of sand
    The moonlit sea, to hold your hand
    I want it all, I want it all
    I want it all, I want it all

    With eternal love, the stars above
    All there is and ever was
    I want it all, I want it all
    I want it all, I want it all
    A blade of grass, a grain of sand
    The moonlit sea, to hold your hand
    I want it all, I want it all
    I want it all, I want it all Writer/s: Emily Haines, James Shaw
