Good Charlotte(굿 샬롯) Lyrics

All these dreams and all these plans
The singer has had many aspirations for their life.

I built them all with these two hands
The singer took responsibility for making their dreams a reality through hard work and determination.

Everything I've realized my dreams
The singer has accomplished much in life and achieved their goals.

City lights shine down and they blind me sometimes
The artist is distracted by the glamour of city life and it can be overwhelming at times.

And through it all I was lost but I found my way
The artist has experienced confusion and uncertainty in life, but ultimately they have found a sense of direction and purpose.

Tell me what you want
The singer is asking their loved one to communicate their desires.

'Cause I will give you everything
The singer is willing to go to great lengths to make their loved one happy.

Tell me what you need
The artist is asking their loved one to communicate their needs.

And I'll go get it
The artist is committed to fulfilling their loved one's needs, whatever they may be.

I'd give up all these dreams to have you in my arms right now
The artist prioritizes their loved one above their own aspirations.

I'd give up everything and I'd forget it I wasn't on a mountain
The singer would sacrifice everything for their loved one and forget about their past accomplishments if it meant being together.

When it came to me
The artist is reflecting on a moment of realization or inspiration.

All my life's been wasted
The singer feels like they've spent their life chasing after unimportant things instead of what truly matters.

Chasing shallow dreams
The singer has pursued meaningless goals instead of pursuing genuine happiness.

So here we are
The singer is focusing on the present moment with their loved one.

Let me lift you up and show this world over me
The artist wants to support and uplift their loved one, and show the world how much they mean to them.

All these things that I've gained and what I've seen,
The artist has had many experiences and acquired many possessions in life.

It can't compare is not the same
None of these experiences or possessions compare to the love the singer has for their loved one.

To the love you could give to me
The singer values the love and affection they receive from their loved one above all else.

Years go by
Time passes quickly.

And nothing's slowing down the time
The artist is lamenting how quickly time is passing and how they can't slow it down.

And then they're wasted
The artist has come to the realization that they've wasted a lot of time pursuing the wrong things in life.

All this time I thought that I gained everything
The singer thought they had gained everything they needed to be happy, but now realizes they were wrong.

If you are not mine I'm so empty I wasn't on a mountain
Without their loved one, the artist feels empty and unfulfilled, even though they have accomplished much in life.
