Everything to Me
3rd Wave feat. Van Ness Wu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see You looking back at me
It's so awesome just to know it's You
All the things that surround begin to fade
I can see the hidden smile You have for me

As I search for the things that matter most to me
That the only place I wanna be
Is in the center of Your eyes of affection

You're the reason I can dream
You mean everything to me
I see You and You see me
And it makes it all worthwhile
When my eyes are locked on You like no one's around

I can see you're moving in the crowd
Quietly I'm satisfied when they're watching You
And I know this truth I see them drawn to You
Like a moth to a flame they're attracted to You

As I search for the things that matter most to me
That the only place I wanna be
Is in the center of Your eyes of affection

You're the reason I can dream
You mean everything to me
I see You and You see me
And it makes it all worthwhile
When my eyes are locked on You like no one's around

You're the reason I can dream
You mean everything to me
I see You and You see me
And it makes it allworthwhile
When my eyes are locked on You like no one's around





And it makes it all worthwhile
When my eyes are locked on You like no one's around
