All Around The World
Heartcry - Nick & Anita Haigh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You helped me see, through your eyes
I know you think my moves un-wise
Your very life I jeopardize
But we both know that's not true
I couldn't do that to you
At the time the best that I could do
Looking back it's sad but true
Is wrapped up in this girl
And it seems like for one night
All the world - all the world was right
You'll have your share of lows and highs
I know you'll see some sad goodbyes
You'll also see a new sunrise
You'll see that blessing in disguise
But we both know that's it's strange but true
The things that life can hand to you
I think you know the right thing to do
Do as I say - not as I do
And it feels like all the world
Is wrapped up in this girl
And it seems like for one night
All the world - all the world was right
Son, I know you're getting older
Don't make your world a little colder
Soon you'll understand when you get older
Right now I know you got a little chip on your shoulder
But we had so many great days now and then
Went to the movies now and again
Don't you know I can't wait to see you again
I consider you my best friend
Believe me I could empathize
You helped me see, through your eyes
I know you think my moves un-wise
Your very life I jeopardize
And it feels like all the world
Is wrapped up in this girl
And it seems like for one night
All the world - all the world was right
And it feels like all the world
Is wrapped up in this girl
And it seems like for one night
All the world - all the world was right
The lyrics of Nick and Anita Haigh's song All around the World speaks about someone pleading with their lover to choose them over another person whom they are potentially cheating with. The singer pleads with the lover not to give their love, time or attention to the other person because the singer knows where the lover goes and what they do with the other person. The singer sees through the lover's smiles and can see their heart, which makes it easier for them to understand what the lover may be thinking or searching for in that other person.
In the second verse, the singer speaks about how all the beauty in the world that the lover has experienced has come crashing down, and the lover used to own the beauty but now no longer does. The lover seems like a "calm, beautiful, child-like victim" who may have been deceived or tricked into thinking that they need the other person. The singer emphasizes the importance of the lover choosing them instead of the other person, and the song ends with the singer still asking the lover what they would do for just some time with them.
