All Around Me
Embracing Magic: A Yearning for Love in Savage Garden's 'All Around Me'
Lyrics
Well you know every time I look at that expression printed on the page I think I hear you,
Reflecting on a written expression, feeling the presence of someone and hearing their words in one's mind.
Whispering the magic and the compliments I need so badly
Desiring magical and affirming words, seeking emotional support.
So baby come on, yeah, so baby come on
Encouraging the person to come closer, expressing anticipation.
Now I've been running circles around the notion that you'd find me baby, One day maybe.
Running in circles, unsure if the person will find them, hopeful for a future connection.
But all the physic powers of suggestion I've been sending your way,
Using suggestive powers to convey feelings to the person.
So can't you hear me say?
Asking if the person can hear the speaker expressing their desires.
I want your arms all around me,
Expressing a desire for physical closeness, appreciating the person's movements and style.
I want your face, yeah, all around me,
-I want your perfume, all around me,
-I like the way you move,
-And do the funky groove.
-All around me I want you.
Reiterating the intense desire for the person to be all around.
All around me I need you.
-All around me I want you.
-All around me.
-So can't you hear me say?
Repeating the plea for the person to hear the speaker's desires.
I want your arms all around me,
Reaffirming the desire for the person's presence and expressing admiration for their actions.
I want your face, yeah, all around me,
-I want your perfume, all around me,
-I like the way you move,
-And do the funky groove.
-Like cold chardonnay chilled for a day,
Using metaphors to describe the person's qualities, comparing them to luxury brands and highlighting their positive impact.
Your smooth and crisp and on display.
-Like Cartier, Armani, like TAG, Gucci, Versace.
-In the middle of the night you're a kiss so long.
-You're the only good thing when all is wrong.
-You're a magic time reversal clock.
-You're the fries on the side with a cherry on top.
-You're sleek, velvet, gold lame, patent leather, enchante.
-You're a legend, you're a glamor queen.
-God I'm running out of words but you know what I mean...
-All around me I want you.
Repeating the intense desire for the person to be all around.
All around me I need you.
-All around me I want you,
-So can't you hear me say?
Reaffirming the desire for physical closeness, appreciating the person's movements and style.
I want your arms all around me,
-I want your face, yeah, all around me,
-I want your perfume, all around me,
-I like the way you move, and do the funky groove.
-So slide into your Jaguar, or Porsche baby, there you are.
Suggesting the person to slide into their luxury car, expressing a playful farewell.
Well chop chop darling au revoir.
-Pick up your things you're a star
