Millions
Evryone Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too busy to set a tempo.
But I don't let anybody touch me like that.
I think I'd like to build my own little yellow brick road before I let you back.
And you, you better believe this is a means to a start we don't start yet.
And I, I have a feeling it's the reason we always get upset.
And maybe take a backseat.
And let me show you what it means to me.
Oh, oh!

Go with your head, I know you know.
Oh, oh!
That it's not anyday I get to show you how the story goes.
What if we crack and break into (millions),
too many precious parts to stick me to you.
Don't think you realise just how long I've been waiting at the back of the queue.
And you, you better believe this is a means to a start we don't start yet.
And I, I have a feeling it's the reason we always get upset.
And maybe take a backseat.
And let me show you what it means to me.
Oh, oh!
Go with your head I know you know.
Oh, oh!
That it's not anyday I get to show you how the story goes.
Oh, oh!
Go with your head I know you know.
Oh, oh!
Go with your head I know you know.
Oh, oh!
That it's not anyday I get to show you how the story goes.
A hand to push, a hand to pull.
A heavy heart to play the fool.
A hand to push, a hand to pull.
Oh, just to show you!
A heavy heart to play the fool.
Another just to play it cool.
A heavy heart to play the fool.
Just to show you!
To every girl I ever knew.

To every girl I ever knew.
To every girl I ever knew.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Evryone's song "Millions" seem to be focused on the complexities of relationships and the effort required to build a strong foundation. The opening line, "Too busy to set a tempo," suggests that the singer is unwilling or unable to invest the time and energy necessary to establish a consistent rhythm in their relationship. Despite this, however, the singer expresses a desire to protect their autonomy and independence, stating "I don't let anybody touch me like that" and hinting that they want to "build [their] own little yellow brick road" before they let their partner back into their life.

The chorus of the song, which is repeated several times, seems to be an appeal to the listener to trust the singer and follow their lead: "Go with your head, I know you know / That it's not anyday I get to show you how the story goes." The singer seems to be saying that they understand what needs to be done to make things work, and that if their partner can trust them and be patient, together they can create something beautiful.

The final lines of the song, which are repeated three times, suggest that the singer has a history of failed relationships and is hoping that this time will be different. By addressing their words to "every girl I ever knew," the singer seems to be saying that they have learned from their past mistakes and are ready to take a different approach. However, the use of the phrase "play the fool" suggests that the singer is aware of the risks involved in opening themselves up to another person.

Overall, the lyrics of "Millions" seem to be about the challenges of building a strong and lasting relationship, and the importance of trust, communication, and patience in achieving that goal.
