You Are Everything
Eternal Yearning: You Are Everything in Love's Echo
Lyrics
Today I saw somebody who looked just like you
Observing someone who strongly resembles the person addressed.
Walked like you do, I thought it was you
Noticing similarities in the way the person walks.
And as he turned the corner I called out your name
Calling out the person's name as they turn the corner.
I felt so ashamed, it wasn't you, wasn't you
Feeling embarrassed because it wasn't actually the person.
You are everything, everything is you
Expressing that the addressed person is everything in the speaker's life.
You are everything, everything is you, you
-You are everything, everything is you
-How can I forget when each face that I see
Reflecting on the difficulty of forgetting when every face reminds the speaker of the person.
Brings back memories of being with you?
Associating faces with memories of being together with the person.
I just can't go on living life as I do, comparing each girl to you
Struggling to continue life and constantly comparing others to the person.
They just won't do, they're not you
Rejecting others because they cannot replace the addressed person.
And you are everything, everything is you
Reiterating that the person is everything in the speaker's world.
You are everything, everything is you
-You are everything, everything is you
-You are everything
-And something happens to me
Describing a profound emotional experience when encountering the person.
When it's you that I see
-When it's you that I feel
-Everything is so real, so real
-You are, you are, you are
Emphasizing the significance of the person, repeating "you are everything."
You are, you are, you are everything
-Say that you want me and you're gonna be mine
Desiring a commitment from the person to be together all the time.
Say that you need me all the time
-You are, you are, you are, you are
Repeating the affirmation of the person being everything.
