Everywhere I Go
Caitlin Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could sail across the ocean,
To the shore line of Japan,
Cut through every city
And every foreign land.
Run away from all just as fast as I can
But no matter where I go,
No matter where I go, there I am,
There I am.

I could fly down the street and some fast and fancy car
Kiss everyone that I meet in every other bar
Fall in love a million times between near and far,
No matter where I'd go, no matter where I'd go
There you are, there you are.

With eyes fixed on a lens
Two lovers pose again,
Forever will they be unchanged.

In the room of town
There's a picture in a drawer
Of all that could've been, all came before
Stand in the light but hiding in the dark.





No matter where I go, no matter where you go
There we are, there we are.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Caitlin Rose's song "Everywhere I Go" speak to the idea of running away from oneself, but finding that no matter where we go, we cannot escape who we are or the people we have loved. The song opens with the singer stating that they could travel across the ocean to the other side of the world, cutting through every foreign land, in order to escape. However, when they arrive at their destination, they realize that running away will not change who they are, and they will always be the same person.


In the second verse, the singer imagines living a full and adventurous life, kissing strangers in bars and falling in love with many people. Nevertheless, even in these new experiences and with countless lovers, they still find themselves unable to escape the memory of someone who's been on their mind. The chorus then comes in, where the singer reminds us that it doesn't matter how much we run or where we go, we will always find ourselves where we're supposed to be, and alongside the people we're meant to be with.


As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal that the singer is not just referring to themselves but speaks from the perspective of someone who knows the pain of unfulfilled love. They refer to a photograph in a drawer, representing all the possibilities of what could've been but never came to fruition. They acknowledge the reality that sometimes we hold onto something, even if it's not meant to be, and even if we try to run away or move on, it will always be a part of us. The song ends with the chorus repeating the same message - it doesn't matter where we are in life, we will always find ourselves where we're supposed to be, whether it's with the people we love or the memories that we can't forget.

This is such a wonderful song. I've been listening to it on a loop. If I could pick a theme song for my life, it would be this.
