Everywhere You Look
Jesse Frederick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV.
Everywhere you look , everywhere you go (there's a heart).
There's a heart
A hand to hold onto.
Everywhere you look , everywhere you go.
Of somebody who needs you.
Eveywhere you look,
When you're lost out there and you're all alone,
A light is waiting to carry you home,
Everywhere you look.
Everywhere you look
Jesse Frederick’s “Everywhere You Look” is an iconic song that was used as the theme song for the popular television show, Full House. The song opens with the question “what ever happened to predictability?” which sets the foundation for the rest of the lyrics. This rhetorical question is reflective of how quickly the world has changed and moved away from its traditional ways. The mention of the milkman, paperboy, and evening TV are alluding to how things were once reliable and constant, and now, it seems those things have faded away. The 'heart' mentioned in the second line is symbolic of love and how it is something that can be found anywhere, whether it be in an individual or in the present moment. The importance of love is highlighted through the line “a hand to hold onto” which emphasizes the importance of companionship in navigating life.
The lyrics convey that love and companionship are vital for individuals and the desire for both is universal. The song suggests that there is always someone who needs another person’s help, time or affection. The phrase, “a light is waiting to carry you home” could be interpreted in multiple ways; it may suggest the light inside of someone or the light of someone else's positive energy that could guide a person with kindness and compassion. The song is inspirational and encourages people to keep on going despite the challenges that they may face. Everywhere you look, someone is present who might require your love, assistance, or empathy while also reminding you that you're never truly alone.
