What Else Is There
Billy Ray Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've got a dream or two running through our heads,
You can't cook, I don't care,
What else is there?
I've got a car, you've got a room,
We can talk all night or make love by the moon,
Feel the love, in the air,
People talk about troubles,
Till they're blue in the face,
Run around in circles,
That's the whole human race,
I've got my own life figured out,
You're the sweetest thing,
I've ever found, God smiling down,
What else is there?
You've got this calm, I'm kinda crazy,
Might be a real cool combination in bed,
Your eyes, my hair,
What else is there?
Years from now, even then,
We'll get old and maybe go to bed by ten,
I'll hold your hand, to climb the stairs,
What else is there?
In this song, Billy Ray Cyrus sings about the simplicity of love and the significance of cherishing life with someone you love. At the beginning of the song, he talks about how two people don't need much to be happy together. They have a dream or two running through their heads, and even if one person can't cook they don't care. This shows that love is more than materialistic things, and sometimes it's just about being with the person who makes you happy.
Cyrus also acknowledges the troubles in the world, stating that people talk about them too much until they get tired of it. However, he highlights that despite whatever happens, he has his life figured out, and he has found the sweetest thing he's ever known. This illustrates that the person he's with brings happiness and stability to his life.
Additionally, he mentions the differences between him and his partner, how she is calm while he is crazy. Despite those differences, they make a cool combination in bed, and their characteristics complement each other well. The song ends with a touching image of growing old with the person he loves, still holding hands and climbing stairs together. In summary, the song encourages us to appreciate the simple things in life and to love and cherish the people who make our lives better.
