Feist -- Lyrics for 'I Feel It All'

....So Ive been getting more and more into this alt-folk singer Feist after hearing a couple of odd but engaging tracks last year...then all of a sudden she shows up as the goofy pop girl on the new iPod Nano commercial (the song is '1234'). Her new album has a couple of tracks that have absolutely killer lyrics. My favorite is 'I Fell It All' which, as Soo Young says, is both beautiful and brave. I guess whats most moving for me is how eerily close this poetry is to my own bittersweet take on love lost and regained, hopefulness and the chance for redemption.

Here it is:

Lyrics: I Feel It All

I feel it all I feel it all
I feel it all I feel it all
The wings are wide the wings are wide
Wild card inside wild card inside

Oh I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one to hold the gone

I know more than I knew before
I know more than I knew before
I didn't rest I didn't stop
Did we fight or did we talk

Oh I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one to hold the gun

I love you more
I love you more
I don't know what I knew before
But now I know I'm wanna win the war

No one likes to take a test
Sometimes you know more is less
Put your weight against the door
Kick drum on the basement floor
Stranded in a fog of words
Loved him like a winter bird
On my head the water pours
Gulf stream through the open door
Fly away
Fly away to what you want to make

I feel it all, I feel it all
I feel it all I feel it all
The wings are wide, the wings are wide
Wild card inside, wild card inside

Oh I'll be the one to break my heart
I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll end it thought you started it

The truth lies
The truth lied
And lies divide
Lies divide
