All I Ever Wanted
Beecake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She opens his wine
He's drinking alone
And it's not the first time
He stares at her back and his eyes traces that sweet line
He feels the chill
As it touches his heart
Too much time apart
He calls her name but stops so it's lost in the dark
He sits and dwells
On their time apart
Building an empire
Breaking her heart
Searching for words
And starting anew
If he'd just listen, then he'd hear the truth
All you ever wanted
All you ever needed
Is here in my arms
All you ever wanted
All you ever needed was here
All you ever wanted
All you ever needed
Was here in my arms
All you ever wanted
All you ever needed
was here... Right here
(instrumental interlude)
He climbed the staircase
Where nothing is new
The darkness can chill him
The dreams that came true
He got it all But they came at a price
Who in here wouldn't live their life twice?
'cause living is nice....
He sits and dwells on their time apart
Building an empire Breaking her heart
Searching for words And starting anew
If he'd just listen, then he'd hear the truth
All you ever wanted
All you ever needed
Was here in my arms
All you ever wantedAll you ever neededWas hereAll you ever wanted all you ever neededWas here in my armsAll you ever wantedAll you ever needed
Was here....Right here
He closes his eyes and the song ends
But who shares love when the replay begins
The lyrics of Beecake's song "All I Ever Wanted" narrate a story of a man who is sitting alone on his rooftop, drinking wine, and thinking about his past relationship with a woman. He is filled with guilt and remorse as he contemplates the time they spent apart and the consequences of his actions, building an empire and breaking the woman's heart. He struggles to find the right words to speak to her and make amends, wishing that he had listened to her earlier. The woman is present in the man's mind, and although she is with him, he feels like she is gone, and he is left alone to dwell on his mistakes.
The refrain of the song, "All you ever wanted, all you ever needed, is here in my arms," is a message from the man to the woman, expressing his desire to make things right and his willingness to love her despite their past issues. He hopes that his love will be enough to make her forget the pain he caused her, and that they can start anew.
Overall, "All I Ever Wanted" is a melancholic and reflective song that deals with themes of regret, forgiveness, and the power of love to heal past wounds.
Line by Line Meaning
He sits on his rooftop
He is alone atop his building
She opens his wine
She uncorks his bottle of wine
He's drinking alone
He's consuming liquor unaccompanied
And it's not the first time
This is not his initial occurrence of such an act
He stares at her back and his eyes traces that sweet line
He admires her physically
He feels the chill
He experiences a cold sensation
As it touches his heart
The chill affects him emotionally
Is it the guilt
He questions if he's guilty of something
Too much time apart
They have been separated for a while
He calls her name but stops so it's lost in the dark
He almost calls out her name, but changes his mind
He sits and dwells
He remains seated, pondering
On their time apart
He thinks about the period they spent separated
Building an empire
He's working towards his life goals
Breaking her heart
His actions have caused her emotional pain
Searching for words
He's looking for the right things to say
And starting anew
He desires a fresh start
If he'd just listen, then he'd hear the truth
If he was attentive, he would comprehend everything
All you ever wanted
Everything you ever desired
All you ever needed
Everything you ever required
Is here in my arms
The artist can provide these things physically
He climbed the staircase
He ascended some steps
Where nothing is new
He's been there before and nothing is novel
The darkness can chill him
The lack of light may physically affect him
The dreams that came true
His aspirations became reality
He got it all But they came at a price
He has everything but it cost him something
Who in here wouldn't live their life twice?
Who wouldn't want to experience their best times again?
'cause living is nice....
Life is pleasant
He closes his eyes and the song ends
He shuts his eyes and the tune concludes
But who shares love when the replay begins
Who is there to love when the song restarts?
