Lyrics
I fell in love again

All things go, all things go

Drove to Chicago

All things know, all things know

We sold our clothes to the state

I don't mind, I don't mind

I made a lot of mistakes

In my mind, in my mind



You came to take us

All things go, all things go

To recreate us

All things grow, all things grow

We had our mindset

All things know, all things know

You had to find it

All things go, all things go



I drove to New York

In a van with my friend

We slept in parking lots

I don't mind, I don't mind

I was in love with the place

In my mind, in my mind

I made a lot of mistakes

In my mind, in my mind



You came to take us

All things go, all things go

To recreate us

All things grow, all things grow

We had our mindset

All things know, all things know

You had to find it

All things go, all things go



If I was crying

In the van with my friend

It was for freedom

From myself and from the land

I made a lot of mistakes

I made a lot of mistakes

I made a lot of mistakes

I made a lot of mistakes



You came to take us

All things go, all things go

To recreate us

All things grow, all things grow

We had our mindset

All things know, all things know

You had to find it

All things go, all things go



You came to take us

All things go, all things go

To recreate us

All things grow, all things grow

We had our mindset (I made a lot of mistakes)

All things know, all things know (I made a lot of mistakes)

You had to find it (I made a lot of mistakes)

All things go, all things go (I made a lot of mistakes)

This is so incredibly beautiful. I love the use of the car clips, and all the other moments you chose, and they fit the lyrics so perfectly. Such a lovely depiction of these relationships.

[trelkez]

You did such a fantastic job with the coming of age, self-discovery story. Lovely, well structured and well edited.

This is gorgeous! I haven't seen the film and I really enjoyed it - particularly impressed by the way you keep the flow and emotion going for such a long song, it's really well done.

[purplefringe]

This is lovely, and so well put together - the emotional arc came across really strongly, and the whole thing was completely gripping even though I've never seen the film.

[chaila]

This is beautiful! The pacing and use of music is just perfect.

[usuallyhats]

This is WONDERFUL. I've never seen the film, but this nevertheless sucked me in and made me feel so emotionally involved with the characters. Really amazing vid!

[ghost_lingering]

This is lovely & very emotional -- I really enjoyed it!

[sweetestdrain]

This might be one of my favorite Festivids this year. I haven't seen the movie version of Perks of Being a Wallflower, but I read the book obsessively when I was a kid, and this vid made me really nostalgic, in addition to being really beautiful and deftly constructed in its own right. Really nice work.

[deirdre_c]

So pretty, so beautifully constructed. *happy sigh*

[franzeska]

Amazing! I don't know the source, so this wasn't high on my list, but you won me over completely. The progression is so clear. The fighting back against the bullies was shocking and a perfect crowning moment of awesome. Wonderful musicality all through.

[kuwdora]

this is AMAZING AND AMAZING SONG CHOICE OMG

[credoimprobus]

Echoing comments above about how effective the progression and emotion in this is -- so lovely! I haven't seen the movie yet, either, but this still made me feel a whole lot. <3
