Everybody Here Wants You
Buckley (Jeff) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coffee smell and lilac skin, your flame in me.
Twenty-nine 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 he needs 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 our eyes locked in downcast love, I sit here proud,
Even now you're undressed in your dreams with me.
I'm only here for this moment.
I know everybody here wants you.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away.
I know the tears we cried have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us
There's nothing in our way, my love
Don't you see, don't you see?
You're just the torch to put the flame
To all our guilt and shame,
And I'll rise like an ember in your name.
You know I, you know I,
I know everybody here wants you.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
Let me show that love can rise, rise just like
Embers.
Love can taste like the win of the ages, babe.
And I know they all look so good from a distance,
But I tell you I'm the one.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you,
Thinks he needs you
And I'll be waiting right here just to show you.

"I'm still not comfortable with what I do. Every time I get home after a show, I feel really strange - like when you wake up in the morning and you realize that you went out the night before, got high, and told some stranger all the most intimate details of your life. It's kind of embarrassing." - Jeff Buckley â„
@Nickee_Sonicjinn
+katherinaJee55 I was introduced to Jeff Buckley's music in 1996 and he died the next year. I was so totally devastated that I wouldn't be able to see him in concerts after that. It would have been really great if he had chosen to be getting old as we do but then again, this world is too incensitive for the musicians like Jeff...
@dragirtully2524
+MzSonicjinn he didnt kill himself though. he didnt choose to get sucked under a boat.
@Nickee_Sonicjinn
+Dragir Tully I know of course. Did I say Jeff killed himself? That is the last thing I wanted him to have encountered in his life.
But what else can we do? We can just listen to his beautiful music and mourn.
@katherinaJee55
Do not forget that the time will come ,when God will bring the majority of the dead...including Jeff ..The Bible says: âThere is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.â (Acts 24:15) .Now the question arises...are we alive at that time ? But I am very happy ,I know that  Jeff will be a new opportunity,that makes me being happy...he say in end of one video..." just to be in the world, really."..jB â„
