As songwriters,
we all have our little moments
where we like to get our own back.
We don't always write perfect love songs.
I like to think of this one
as a little bit of an anti -love
song.
Take these hands,
they will give you all I own
Take these fingers, they are worn down
the bone
Have I taken everything you had to give
Is that all there is?
Take these shoulders
They are holding up the world
And these arms they will never
wrap themselves
Around any other girl
And these mouths can't breathe
Unless they get their
hands close to yours
And these eyes can't see
until you choose to
Let the sunlight through, and she said
Is that all there is?
Is that all you've got?
Can I wring you out just a
few more drops?
Have I taken everything you had to give?
Is that all there is?
Did you roll for the moon?
Who'd have thought
you'd run out so soon?
I don't mean to sound insensitive
Is that all it is?
Everyone I know seems to
share the same fate
Where the givers give
and the takers take
We had good parents,
we grew up well
So take my love, my dreams, my fears
My inspirations and my tears
My home, my life, my job, my time
My kids, my house, now raise it to me
She said is that all there is
Did the well run dry, did I miss a spot
I don't believe that I would miss
one drop of blood you had to give
Is that all there is?
Did you run that much?
Who'd have thought
you'd run out so soon?
Are you holding back just a little bit?
Or is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
Oh, is that all there is?
Oh, is that all there is?
Yeah, is that all there is?
And now we shall put you to work
with some singing, yeah?
Yeah.
