All I Want Is You Today
Yearning for Today: South Border's All I Want Is You
Lyrics
Some things never change
Expressing the constancy of certain things in life.
Some things will remain
Emphasizing the enduring nature of specific aspects.
Yet I always hope and pray
Conveying a continuous sense of hope and prayer.
That I could change the day
Expressing a desire to alter or influence the course of events.
And maybe find a way
Expressing the wish to discover a solution or path forward.
To make you come to me
Yearning for the person addressed to come closer.
Yesterday doesn't matter
Highlighting that events from the past are irrelevant.
Tomorrow you may not ever know (Tomorrow I just might be gone)
Stressing the uncertainty of the future and the impermanence of relationships.
So listen to me now
Encouraging the listener to pay attention and heed the following words.
As I try to say
Attempting to convey a message or express feelings.
That all I want is you today
Expressing a simple desire for the person's presence on the current day.
If you only knew
Expressing a desire for the listener to understand a challenging experience.
What you put me through
Acknowledging the emotional impact of the person's actions.
You might not have gone away
Suggesting that the person's departure might have been different if they knew the impact.
Have you ever felt, even for a while
Posing a question about experiencing a sense of incompleteness in life.
Something's missing in your life
Reflecting on a feeling of lacking something essential.
Yesterday doesn't matter
Reiterating that past events are inconsequential to the current message.
Tomorrow you may not ever know (Tomorrow I just might be gone)
Emphasizing the uncertainty of the future and the impermanence of relationships (repeated theme).
So listen to me now
Encouraging the listener to focus on the present message.
As I try to say
Reiterating the desire for the person's presence on the current day.
That all I want is you today
(No specific information provided in this line.)
That all I want is you today
-If you don't need me anymore
Expressing the speaker's awareness of the listener's potential change in feelings.
Don't say it, if you don't love me anymore
Advising the listener not to verbalize if love is no longer present.
Don't show it, because this life I have is short
Advising the listener not to display lack of love physically.
So maybe you could try for now to love me again
Encouraging the listener to consider rekindling love given life's brevity.
Yesterday doesn't matter
Reiterating that past events are inconsequential to the current message.
Tomorrow you may not ever know (Tomorrow I just might be gone)
Emphasizing the uncertainty of the future and the impermanence of relationships (repeated theme).
So listen to me now
Encouraging the listener to pay attention to the present message.
As I try to say
Reiterating the desire for the person's presence on the current day.
That all I want is you today
(No specific information provided in this line.)
All I want is you today
Restating the primary longing for the person's presence on the current day.
