All I Ever Wanted
Brian Melo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slow Down
Make it last
I'm having the time of my life
And take your photograph
I don't want to leave this behind
What seems so out of reach
We're holding it right in our hands
Let's give up everything
Let's jump in and never look back [x2]

This is all I ever wanted
But life got in my way
You're all I ever wanted
I didn't see how it could change
That something was missing until today

The city comes alive
As soon as you walk through the door
Another sleepless night
But I don't want to sleep anymore
I don't want to sleep anymore

This is all I ever wanted
But life got in my way
You're all I ever wanted
I didn't see how it could change
That something was missing until today

Climbing so high
Just don't look down
We can see everything from here
For once in my life
Feet off the ground
I don't wanna come back down

Take your photograph
I'm having the time of my life

This is all I ever wanted
But life got in my way
You're all I ever wanted
I didn't see how it could change
Nothing could get in the way




You're all I ever wanted
Didn't know what I was missing until today

Overall Meaning

The song "All I Ever Wanted" is about someone who is finally realizing what they've been missing in their life. The lyrics describe the feeling of being so content with the present moment that you don't want it to end. The singer tells their lover to slow down and make it last, wanting to savor every second of their time together. They acknowledge that life got in the way of them finding what they truly wanted, but now that they have found it, they never want to let it go.


The chorus of the song repeats the lines "This is all I ever wanted, but life got in my way. You're all I ever wanted, I didn't see how it could change. That something was missing until today." This summarizes the underlying theme of the song, which is the idea that sometimes we don't realize what we're missing until we find it. The singer is grateful for everything that has led them to this moment, but they're also aware that nothing can get in the way of what they truly want.


The second verse of the song talks about how the city comes alive when the singer's lover is around. They don't want to sleep anymore because they don't want to miss a single moment with them. The bridge of the song describes the feeling of being elevated and seeing everything from a new perspective. The singer feels like they've finally found what they've been searching for and they never want to come back down.


Overall, "All I Ever Wanted" is a beautiful song about the realization of true love and never wanting to let it go. It's about the happiness that can be found when we're fully present in the moment and appreciating every second of it.

放慢脚步,
让它持续下去
我要度过一生
,拿下你的照片,
我不想把它抛在后面
。看起来如此遥不可及,
我们将它握在手中,
让我们放弃一切,
让我们跳进去,永不回头[X2]

[合唱]
这是我所想要的
,但生活在我的方式得到
你是我曾经想
,我没有看到它如何可以改变
的东西是缺少直到今天

这座城市变得生机勃勃
尽快为你走过门
另一个不眠之夜
但是我不想再睡觉
我不想再睡觉

[合唱]
这就是我全部的希望
,但生活在我的方式得到
你是我曾经想
,我没有看到它如何可以改变
的东西不见了,直到今天

爬这么高
就是不往下看
,我们可以从这里看到的一切
的生命中的每一次
脚步都离地面
我不想要下来

拍下你的照片
我度过了我的美好时光

[合唱]
这就是我想要的一切,
但生活阻碍了
你,就是我想要的一切
我不知道它将如何改变
没有任何东西会妨碍
你我一直想要的一切
直到今天才知道我所缺少的



@luisfernandopenha6430

eu sinto que vou te amar por longas datas
mas você nunca vai saber disso você me machucou
e se machucou sabendo o que fez mas não fui atrás pra cobrar explicação
ou reatar a nossa relação
mas meu coração
metaforicamente
ainda explode de sensação quando vê algo que lembra a sensação e a emoção que era vibrar na mesma frequência que o seu amor
com muita dor
relembro dos nossos momentos você faz parte de mim ainda
aqui dentro
você nunca foi embora
estou presa nessa gaiola de te amar
e nunca te mostrar
venho a chorar
todos os sentimentos
escorrendo
pra qualquer canto dessa cidade
por não estar no conforto dos teus braços
eternamente te amarei
e jaz
que nunca te falarei
passado a anos
a minha imaginação
ainda sonha em te encontrar
e ouvir você pedindo perdão mas de longe te admiro com outra pessoa
sendo feliz
fico bem
mesmo não sendo ao meu lado.

mw.

I’m listening to this song at 12:26am and I can’t help but think about that one person I had to let go of because I wanted him to be happy.. even if it meant it wasn’t with me. I miss you Alex. I hope you find the one 😊
