"All Of My Friends" lyrics

"All Of My Friends"

I couldn't sleep last night
And every time I tried
I saw the faces I was missing
Been chasing dreams since I was
Seventeen and now I'm
Thirty-four and I'm admitting

That nobody knows me here
Another reason it turns into years
I know I'm fine here, all on my own
But all of my friends are back home

My parents are getting older
They're always one step closer
There'll be a day they're not okay
My brother's having babies
I haven't seen them lately
I'm always just one flight away

So, nobody knows me here
Another reason it turns into years
I know I'm fine here all on my own
But all of my friends are back home

Isn't it amazing how this works?
You spend your whole life building a world
All within a moment this fight feels lost
And all of my doubt comes creeping out

Nobody knows me here
Another reason it turns into years
See, I know I'm fine here all on my own
But all of my friends, they understand
But all of my friends are back home

Speaking of this track Delta Goodrem shared, "'All of My Friends' was inspired by a raw and vulnerable moment of contemplation when you wonder if your decisions and sacrifices in life are worth it and how you strike a balance with all that is most important to you." Page 97 of Goodrem's first-ever book published by Simon & Schuster and bearing the same title as the album, "Bridge Over Troubled Dreams", tells the detailed story behind this song as the other chapters explained what inspired the whole album and its every song.
