It would mean everything to me if we could take a holiday
Cos you and I bone tired every night isn't my idea of play
And even our smallest dream is getting lean, never sees the light of day

So it would mean everything to me
You can fight but you won't always win
Somehow life finds a way to beat you
But I'll come join you in the ring
Guess it shows just how much I need you

There are days I would pay anything just to leave it all behind
There are times I can't find any light to get me through the daily grind
I know you feel it too, seen just how long it takes you to unwind

So it would mean everything to me

You can fight but you won't always win
Somehow life finds a way to beat you
But I'll come join you in the ring
Guess it shows just how much I need you

It would mean everything to me if we could take a holiday
Cos you and I bone tired every night isn't my idea of play
And even our smallest dream is getting lean, never sees the light of day

So it would mean everything to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lips's song Everything To Me are an invitation to take a break, to escape from the daily routine and get away from the exhaustion and stress that weigh on the relationship. The singer is addressing their partner, expressing the desire for them to go on holiday together, as staying up late every night has lost its appeal. The lyrics explore the idea that even one's smallest aspirations are not fulfilled, and the pressure to succeed is intense. The chorus reinforces the importance of staying together despite life's challenges, supporting and encouraging each other in its daily struggles.

The overarching theme of the song is about wanting to escape from the daily stresses of life and reconnecting with one's partner on a holiday. It portrays a picture of a relationship which is strong but needs a breather, whose members are tired after the daily grind. By acknowledging that life can be challenging and victory is by no means guaranteed, the song suggests that the love between the couple is not naive, but a steadfast bond that can withstand difficulties.
