Anand Bhatt Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Everywhere is where I want to be)

I have lost the way to understand
I have lost the will to be your man
If you stand in my way, I'll leave you behind
(I'll leave you behind)

I have lost the way to understand

I have lost the will to be your man
If you stand in my way, I'll leave you behind
(I'll leave you behind)

Pretend that I want you to be there
Pretend that I want you to always care
What can I do for you to set me free
(To set me free)

I, I don't mind if you think you might
Give Me Everything, Give Me Everything

I, I don't mind if you think you might
Give Me Everything, Give Me Everything

I don't mind if you think you might

Pretend that I want you to be there
Pretend that I want you to always care
What can I do for you to set me free
(To set me free)

I, I don't mind if you think you might
Give Me Everything, Give Me Everything

I, I don't mind if you think you might
Give Me Everything, Give Me Everything

I don't mind if you think you might

(Everywhere is where I want to be)

I, I don't mind if you think you might
Give Me Everything, Give Me Everything

I, I don't mind if you think you might
Give Me Everything, Give Me Everything

I, I don't mind if you think you might
Give Me Everything, Give Me Everything

I don't mind if you think you might

Everywhere is where I want to be.
