Everything
Climie Fisher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems like yesterday
I was only foolin' 'round but she stole my heart away
I've never been the same
I felt the strangest feeling like a raging fire it burned
She left I cried for weeks and
I can't forget her or the lesson that I learned
Love changes, changes everything
Love makes you fly it can break your wings
Love changes, changes everything
Love makes the rules from fools to kings
Love changes, love changes everything
Then the years went rollin' by
I grew up and moved away
Had to earn my pay
Found another lover then
But my heart is sad to say
It only ended up the same way
And I wondered was I destined to spend my life alone
Oh girl you answered my question
This time it's working you've given me new hope
Love changes, changes everything
Love makes you fly it can break your wings
Love changes, changes everything
Love makes the rules from fools to kings
Love changes, love changes everything
I've seen the way love shakes ya makes ya break ya
It's got a power of it's own
Love changes, changes everything
Love makes you fly it can break your wings
Love changes, changes everything
Love makes the rules from fools to kings
Love changes, love changes everything

I was only seventeen when she looked at me that way
At a young age, she showed me a look that was unfamiliar to me
Seems like yesterday
I still remember that moment clearly
I was only foolin' 'round but she stole my heart away
I wasn't serious, but she captured my heart
I've never been the same
Since then, my life has been changed
I felt the strangest feeling like a raging fire it burned
A powerful feeling exploded inside me
She left I cried for weeks and
I was heartbroken after she left
I can't forget her or the lesson that I learned
Her memory and the experience taught me a valuable lesson in life
Then the years went rollin' by
Time passed quickly
I grew up and moved away
I matured and left my hometown
Had to earn my pay
I had to work hard to make a living
Found another lover then
I fell in love again
But my heart is sad to say
Unfortunately, things didn't work out
It only ended up the same way
History repeated itself
And I wondered was I destined to spend my life alone
I questioned whether I was meant to be alone
Oh girl you answered my question
But then I met someone who gave me hope
This time it's working you've given me new hope
This time, things are going well and I have renewed hope for my future
I've seen the way love shakes ya makes ya break ya
Love has the power to change and even destroy you
Love changes, changes everything
Love is a transformative force that can change everything
Love makes you fly it can break your wings
Love can lift you up or bring you down
Love makes the rules from fools to kings
Love has the power to change your status in life
Love changes, love changes everything
Love is a powerful force that can transform everything in your life
