All I Wanna Do
Animal Collective v. The Beach Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I want to do
Is always bring good to you
To give you all the love I can
And help you in whatever you do

Sure as the sun will come around again to start off another day
You can be sure that in my heart and soul I'll love you in every way
All I want to do
Is bring happiness to you
I hope it makes you happy to know
My love's with you wherever you go

Ooo when I sit and close my ey-eyes
A gentle thought comes in my mind
My love is burnin' brightly
Like the moon and stars shine nightly
All I want to do
All I want to do
All I want to do
All I want to do

Ooo let these little words of love
Come romance and light your way
My love is burnin' brightly
Like the moon and stars shine nightly
All I want to do (lonely in the night I feel)
All I want to do
All I want to do
My love is burnin' brightly
All I want to do
Doo doo doo doo doo
Like the moon and stars shine brightly
All I want to do
My love is burnin' brightly
All I want to do




Doo doo doo doo doo
Like the moon and stars shine brightly

First time I heard this was the last weekend of summer before senior year of high school started. My two best friends and I were tripping on acid in my parents basement and everything about this song felt and sounded so right. It's almost been 5 years yet when I hear this song the emotion, sensation and perception comes back in waves. Oh how I miss and cherish these memories
