Everything
Marching Band Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are weak and we know that
Everything's gonna be, gonna be alright
We started with the ending
All tomorrow's are never coming second

Talking to this girl that I know
(That I know)
I don't want to see, I want to show
(Want to show)

You got everything that I want
Yeah, you do, you got everything that I want
You got everything that I want
Yeah, you do, you got everything that I want

We load our conversation
Now it's got beginning, middle, and ending
I look great on paper
But I won't bring damage, I need a mutation

I am always fighting this blank mind
(Blank mind)
Already used my one memorable line
(One memorable line)

You got everything that I want
Yeah, you do, you got everything that I want
You got everything that I want
Yeah, you do, you got everything that I want
And you go through, go through
You got everything that I want
Yeah, you do, you got everything that I want
You got everything that I want
Yeah, you do, you got everything that I want

Making up as I go along
Wondering for how long
Holding every little thing I want

Every, every little thing I
Every, every little thing

Talking to this girl that I know
(That I know)
I don't want to see, don't want to show
(Don't wanna show)

You got everything that I want
Yeah, you do, you got everything that I want
You got everything that I want
Yeah, you do, you got everything that I want
