Everybody Here Wants You
Anchor & Braille Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

29 pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me

29 pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me

I'm only here for this moment

I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks they need you
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away

Such a thing of wonder in this crowd
I'm a stranger in this town
You're free with me

And her eyes locked in downcast love
I sit here proud
Even now you're all dressed in your dreams with me

I'm only here for this moment

I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks they need you
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away

I know the tears we've cry have dried on yesterday
See if fools
Nothing in my way of my love




Don't you see
Don't you see
