She is Everything
Discovering Love's Essence in 'She is Everything' by John White
Lyrics
I gave you all the worst of me
I shared the worst aspects of myself with you
I sat on the sidelines and watched you bleed
I remained on the sidelines, witnessing your pain
You can take everything from me Take my cars, my clothes
You have permission to take away material possessions like cars and clothes
Take my house, my phone
Give up my house and phone if you wish
Take my peace, my soul
Even my peace and soul are at your disposal
I never needed those
Those things were never essential to me
I just want your love I just need your touch
All I desire is your love and touch
You can say anything Take everything
You have the freedom to say anything and take everything
Just leave her with me Cause she's all that I need I hate that I couldn't see
But please leave her (presumably a person) with me because she's everything I need
That she is everything
I regret not realizing earlier that she is everything to me
Nights alone can seem so far away Until they're here
Nights alone feel distant until they become a reality
I wish we weren't lost in a page
I wish we weren't lost in the pages of a story I never intended to write
Of a book I never meant to write
We are lost in the narrative of a book unintentionally created
So you can take everything from me Take my cars, my clothes
Reiteration of the willingness to part with material possessions
Take my house, my phone
Reiteration of offering one's house and phone
Take my peace, my soul
Reiteration of being ready to give up peace and soul
I never needed those
Reaffirmation that those things were never essential
I just want your love I just need your touch
The essential desire is for love and physical connection
You can say anything Take everything
Permission to take anything and everything
Just leave her with me Cause she's all that I need
Plea to leave the person he loves with him, as she is everything he needs
I hate that I couldn't see That she is everything
Regret expressed for not realizing earlier that she is everything to him
