All or Nothing

once again I should know better
than to let this feeling undermine

I read your confession in a letter
sealed with the stamp of one more time

but it's all or nothing with you
and I'm hanging on so don't let go
of every word I whisper
and of these places I go

set your mind upon the steeples
but keep your heart from falling down
and don't look back to see my city
when it's burning to the ground

because it's all or nothing with me
and I'm looking for the halo
from the incandescent light
that shows the places you go
