Jay-R & Kyla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing (say, say, the light)
I'm very scared for this world, I'm very scared for me (say, say, the light)
Eviscerate your memory
Here's a scene
You're in the backseat laying down, the windows wrap around (say, say, the light)
To sound of the travel and the engine (say, say, the light)
All you hear is time stand still in travel
And feel such peace and absolute
The stillness still that doesn't end
But slowly drifts into sleep
The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you
For you alone, you are the everything

I think about this world a lot and I cry (say, say, the light)
And I've seen the films and the eyes
But I'm in this kitchen (say, say, the light)
Everything is beautiful
And she is so beautiful (say, say, the light)
She is so young and old
I look at her and I see the beauty of the light of music (say, say, the light)
The voices talking somewhere in the house, late spring
And you're drifting off to sleep with your teeth in your mouth
You are here with me
You are here with me
You have been here and you are everything

Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing (say, say, the light)
I'm very scared for this world, I'm very scared for me (say, say, the light)
Eviscerate your memory
Here's a scene
You're in the backseat laying down, the windows wrap around (say, say, the light)
To the sound of the travel and the engine (say, say, the light)
All you hear is time stand still in travel
And feel such peace and absolute
The stillness still that doesn't end
But slowly drifts into sleep
The greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you




For you alone, you are the everything
For you alone you are the everything

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jay-R and Kyla's "You to Me Are Everything" talks about the subject's fears and anxieties for the world and for themselves. The opening lines of the song reveal a deep sense of apprehension and unease. The repetition of the phrase "say, say, the light" suggests that the singer is searching for comfort and guidance from a higher power or from someone they trust. These lines can also suggest that the light represents hope and a way out of their fears and uncertainties.


However, there is a contrast in the mood when the singer describes a memory of being in the backseat of a car, with the windows down, and staring at the stars. The description is peaceful and calming, in contrast to the anxiety that is expressed at the beginning of the song. The importance of this memory is underscored by the phrase, "For you alone, you are the everything." The memory is significant to the singer because it reminds them of the beauty of the world and the importance of appreciating it.


The song then transitions into the singer's thoughts about their immediate surroundings. In their kitchen, everything is beautiful, and the subject they are with is described as "so beautiful." This person and their surroundings are a stark contrast to the world outside and what the singer is anxious about. It is possible that this person is a source of light to the singer, a way to escape the darkness of their fears.


Overall, "You to Me Are Everything" is a song that juxtaposes the anxieties and fears of the world with moments of peace and serenity. It speaks of the importance of holding on to memories and moments that can provide hope and light in difficult times.

I would take the stars

Out of the sky for you

Stop the rain from falling

If you asked me to


I'd do anything for you

Your wish is my command

I could move a mountain when

Your hand is in my hand


Words cannot express

How much you mean to me

There must be some other way

To make you see


If it takes my heart and soul

You know I'd pay the price

Everything that I possess

I'd gladly sacrifice


Oh you to me are everything

The sweetest song

That I could sing

Oh baby, oh baby


To you I guess

I'm just a clown

Who picks you up

Each time you're down


Oh baby, oh baby


You give me just

A taste of love to

Build my hopes upon


You know you got

The power, girl

To keep me holding on


So now you got

The best of me

Come on and

Take the rest of me


Oh baby


Though you're close to me

We seem so far apart

Maybe given time
You'll have a change of heart

If it takes forever, girl
Then I'm prepared to wait
Until you give your love to me
Won't be a day too late

Oh you to me are everything

The sweetest song

That I could sing

Oh baby, oh baby



To you I guess

I'm just a clown

Who picks you up

Each time you're down



Oh baby, oh baby



You give me just

A taste of love to

Build my hopes upon



You know you got

The power, girl

To keep me holding on



So now you got

The best of me

Come on and

Take the rest of me



Oh baby
