Well I have been searching
All of my days
Many a road, you know
I’ve been walking on
All of my days
And I’ve been trying to find
What’s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night
Well I have been quietly standing in the shade
All of my days
Watch the sky breaking on the promise that we made
All of this rain
And I’ve been trying to find
What’s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night
Well many a night I found myself with no friends standing near
All of my days
I cried aloud
I shook my hands
What am I doing here
All of these days
For I look around me
And my eyes confound me
And it’s just too bright
As the days keep turning into night
Now I see clearly
It’s you I’m looking for
All of my days
So I’ll smile
I know I’ll feel this loneliness no more
All of my days
For I look around me
And it seems you found me
And it’s coming into sight
As the days keep turning into night
As the days keep turning into night
And even breathing feels all right
Yes, even breathing feels all right
Now even breathing feels all right
Yes even breathing
Feels all right
All of my days
Many a road, you know
I’ve been walking on
All of my days
And I’ve been trying to find
What’s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night
Well I have been quietly standing in the shade
All of my days
Watch the sky breaking on the promise that we made
All of this rain
And I’ve been trying to find
What’s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night
Well many a night I found myself with no friends standing near
All of my days
I cried aloud
I shook my hands
What am I doing here
All of these days
For I look around me
And my eyes confound me
And it’s just too bright
As the days keep turning into night
Now I see clearly
It’s you I’m looking for
All of my days
So I’ll smile
I know I’ll feel this loneliness no more
All of my days
For I look around me
And it seems you found me
And it’s coming into sight
As the days keep turning into night
As the days keep turning into night
And even breathing feels all right
Yes, even breathing feels all right
Now even breathing feels all right
Yes even breathing
Feels all right

"Well I have been searching
All of my days
Many a road, you know
I've been walking on
all of my days'
and he sums it up by saying
'And I've been trying to find.
What's been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night'
The next verse might be the time he's on his death bed waiting for death to fetch him
'Well many a night I found myself with no friends standing near
All of my days
I cried aloud
I shook my hands
What am I doing here
All of these days'
Nobody is there to accompany him and he shook his own hands just to make him feel better.
Last verse is when he's about to release his hold on life.
Now I see clearly
It's you I'm looking for
All of my days
The 'you' here might refer to God like all of the others are saying, he realizes that at the end of his life its God that he should have looked for after all these times.
'So I'll smile
I know I'll feel this loneliness no more
For I look around me
And it seems you found me'
Again the you here refers to God. After realizing this, he feels better and he can feel the comfort that God has given him.
The 'Even breathing feels alright' is the moment before he's about to die. All the wants to do now is just 'breathe' because right now the simple thing like breathing is better than dying.
I don't believe in God, but I see the beauty of the concept. Still, I think this song has enough ambiguity that you can apply it to whichever person is the most important to you in your life, which is nice. :)
I think it is about someone who is depressed, lonely, what have you. They are lost. Maybe in a relationship or maybe just in life. They keep on trying to go find things that will fill this huge void in their life, but keep coming back confused as just as empty as before. I think the middle is that point in your life when you hit rock bottom. You try to figure out where you went wrong. You just want to smile and laugh again; and for once in a long long while, don't want to have to fake it. The end is clarity. That moment where you find exactly what you are looking for. It could be from a relationship, God, or, the majority of the time it happens this way for me, it's in a song.
I heard it in the trailer of a movie called "Away We Go". By the way, if you're into soft, indie movies, and you love Alexi Murdoch (he did the whole soundtrack!), listen to this movie. VERY touching and cute!
I believe that God (Jesus) is what we're all searching for, even if we don't know it, and that in the end He does satisfy (and certainly is there "all of our days"). This song is beautiful, but it is just unclear whether that's what the singer is finding, or something else. A lot of Alexi's songs have this abstract nature to them, I guess that's his style.
I never, ever questioned that knack for good taste. This album is amazing and this is one of my favorite songs of all time. The skill and talent behind this is incredible. There's something about this that has a Christian tint to me, but I might just be projecting. I think it may be him addressing God but it could also be him addressing a lover. It's very ambiguous to me.
I know I'll feel this loneliness no more
All of my days
For I look around me
And it seems you found me
I think the "you" on the last line is actually "He".
i would love to learn to play this....
I just heard it for the first time yesterday driving back home from a trip, and it just moved me.
