Everytime I see you
Alden Richards Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life it seems, slips away
Just like any dream
All I want is all I need
Still I ask for more

Say, say why is it so
Wait, wait don't let me know
Everytime I see you
My life turns upside down
Everytime I see you I know

Love it seems, slips away
Just like any dream
I failed to see this memory
Means so much to me

Say, say why is it so
Wait, wait don't let me know

Everytime I see you
My life turns upside down
Tried so hard to find out
How to make you come back
But even if I told you
I can't hold you again
Everytime I see you I know

Everytime I see you
My life turns upside down
I tried so hard to find out
How to make you come back
But even if I told you
I can't hold you again
Everytime I see you I know
Everytime I see you
My life turns upside down
Everytime I see you I know




Everytime I see you I know
Everytime I see you I know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alden Richards's song Everytime I See You reflects on the fleeting nature of life and love. The first two lines describe how life can slip away just as quickly as a dream does. The persona in the song only wants what he needs, but still finds himself asking for more. The lines "say, say why is it so, wait, wait don't let me know" suggest that the persona is reflecting on something that he would rather not know the answer to.


The chorus contains the main refrain of the song, "Everytime I see you, my life turns upside down." This line suggests that seeing this person has a profound effect on the persona's emotions and outlook on life. The next two lines suggest that the persona tried to make this person come back to him, but failed. Despite his efforts, he cannot hold this person again.


The next verse contains a similar sentiment to the first, describing how love can slip away just like a dream. The persona now realizes that this memory is significant and means a lot to him. The lines "say, say why is it so, wait, wait don't let me know" are repeated, suggesting that the persona is still trying to come to terms with something that he is not ready to face.


Overall, the song is about the pain of losing someone or something that meant a lot to the persona. The lyrics reflect on the fleeting nature of life, love, and memories. The persona is struggling to come to terms with this loss and the effect it has on his life.
