Lyrics:
I should have known that it would end this way
I should have known there was no other way
Didn't hear your warning
Damn my heart gone there
I should have known
Look at the shape you're in
I should have known
But I don't write in
One thing is for certain
As I'm standing here
I should have known
Lay your hands in mine
Heal me one last time
Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
I should have known
I was inside of you
I should have known
There was that side of you
Came without a warning
Caught me unaware
I should have known
I've been here before
I should have known
Don't want it anymore
One thing is for certain
I'm still standing here
I should have known
Lay your hands in mine
Heal me one last time
Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
No I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
I should have known
Maybe you was right
Didn't want a fight
I should have known
Couldn't see the signs
Couldn't run a lie
I should have known
Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
No I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
I should have known

All My Life - Foo Fighters
Artist: Foo Fighters
Song: All My Life
Year: 2002
Album: One By One
After a string of singles that were middle of the road type crowd pleasers, Dave Grohl came back with this rocking single to kick off the One By One album. With that he brought me back into the fold. There wasn't anything wrong with the mainstream singles that Foo Fighters were churning out, but the rocking of the first album is what hooked me.
They started to stray from that formula on the second album, but it worked really well for that project. The Colour And The Shape is probably my favorite Foo Fighters album, as a whole album. One By One was a return of sorts, to that initial fury.
The one thing that instantly hooked me on this song is something that doesn't actually exist. I misheard the lyrics during my first few listens. At the end of the song, when Dave is screaming, it sounded like he said, "Dead, dead, and I'm on to the next." Instead of "dead", Dave was screaming "done." That works too, but I will always feel partial to my initial reaction.
"All My Life" is a return to glory and a breakaway of the past. When Nirvana released their last single in 2002, "All My Life" knocked it off the top of the charts. While Nirvana's single was released at the wrong time, the Foo Fighters single was released right on time.
Lyrics:
All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost
Come down don't you resist
You have such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my breath
Will I find something in that
So give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down [x2]
Will I find a believer
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over down on my knees
If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on I've got nothing to hide
On and on I've got nothing to hide
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down [x2]
All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
[x8, then x4 but yelling]
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down [x2]
[yelling]
Done done and on to the next one
Done I'm done and I'm
On to the next.
