[Intro] [hypnotic bass phrase] [Verse 1] It always comes together It always comes at once The good thing and the locked door The open hand and the closed fist [Verse 2] It always comes together It always comes at once The yes I already gave The call I cannot take [Pre-Chorus] And I stand there With my hands full And I stand there With my hands tied [Chorus] Everything at once Nothing I can choose Everything at once Something I must lose (I must lose) [Verse 3] It always comes together It always comes at once The thing I waited years for The promise I can't break [Verse 4] It always comes together It always comes at once The door that finally opens The weight I cannot drop [Pre-Chorus] And I stand there With my hands full And I stand there With my hands tied [Chorus] Everything at once Nothing I can choose Everything at once Something I must lose (I must lose) [Bridge] I stopped asking why I stopped keeping score I just watch it stack And I let it fall I let it fall [Guitar solo | melodic | fast] [Final Chorus] Everything at once Nothing I can choose Everything at once Something I must lose (I must lose) I MUST LOSE [Outro] "every time" [bass note sustains and fades] (mmm)
