  • All I know
    Is everything is not as it's sold
    But the more I grow the less I know
    And I have lived so many lives
    Though I'm not old
    And the more I see, the less I grow
    The fewer the seeds the more I sow

    Then I see you standing there
    Wanting more from me
    And all I can do is try
    Then I see you standing there
    Wanting more from me
    And all I can do is try, try

    I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
    And all the real people are really not real at all
    The more I learn the more I learn
    The more I cry the more I cry
    As I say goodbye to the way of life
    I thought I had designed for me

    Then I see you standing there
    Wanting more from me
    And all I can do is try
    Then I see you standing there
    I'm all I'll ever be
    But all I can do is try
    Oh, try, try

    All of the moments that already passed
    We'll try to go back and make them last
    All of the things we want each other to be
    We never will be, we never will be
    And that's wonderful, and that's life
    And that's you, baby
    This is me, baby
    And we are, we are, we are, we are
    We are, we are
    Free
    In our love
    We are free in our love Writer/s: BRIAN WEST, NELLY FURTADO
