Every Time
Jessica Andrews Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I laid the blanket there on the shoreline
And saw the water shine with the moon
What kind of fool would fail to notice
The best thing shining was you

Oh, I laughed kinda nervous
I felt you move closer
And felt the world unwind

Once was a stranger, not quite a lover
But steadily crossing the line

Carry me far away
Don't hold back; I won't break
Leave the ghosts behind
All I know, wrong or right
Just the thought of this night
Will get me every time
Every time

Well, the voice in my head said
"What are you doing?"
I thought not listening to you
You see I'm taking a chance
I'm thinking about flying over the blue

And it's crazy to be this out of practice
And have it all come so naturally
Don't you love knocking logic right off its axis
And watch it float far out to sea

Carry me far away
Don't hold back; I won't break
Leave the ghosts behind
All I know, wrong or right
Just the thought of this night
Will get me every time
Every time
Every time
Every time
Every time

So now here I am reading my fortune
In the winding lines of your hand
Oh, and I see a lost unwanted orphan
Head right for the promised land

Carry me far away
I won't
I won't break
Oh
Carry me far away
Don't hold back; I won't break
Leave the ghosts behind
All I know, wrong or right
Just the thought of this night
Will get me every time

Will get me every time
Every time

Line by Line Meaning

I laid the blanket there on the shoreline
I placed the blanket on the sandy beach by the water

And saw the water shine with the moon
The water sparkled and shined from the light of the moon

What kind of fool would fail to notice
Only a fool wouldn't realize

The best thing shining was you
The most captivating and stunning thing was you

Oh, I laughed kinda nervous
I nervously chuckled

I felt you move closer
I sensed you coming closer to me

And felt the world unwind
I felt the stress and tension in my mind ease and relax

Once was a stranger, not quite a lover
We were once unfamiliar to each other, not quite in love

But steadily crossing the line
But we are gradually moving past that and getting closer

Carry me far away
Take me away with you

Don't hold back; I won't break
Don't hesitate; I won't give up

Leave the ghosts behind
Let go of the past and move on

All I know, wrong or right
Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, all I know is

Just the thought of this night
The mere idea of this night

Will get me every time
Will always affect me deeply

Well, the voice in my head said
The thoughts in my mind spoke to me

"What are you doing?"
"Why are you taking this risk?"

I thought not listening to you
I decided not to listen to those thoughts

You see I'm taking a chance
I am taking a risk

I'm thinking about flying over the blue
I'm considering exploring past what's familiar

And it's crazy to be this out of practice
It's absurd to feel this inexperienced

And have it all come so naturally
Yet, it all feels so easy and right

Don't you love knocking logic right off its axis
Isn't it great to defy logic and reason

And watch it float far out to sea
And see it drift away like a ship at sea

So now here I am reading my fortune
Now I find myself predicting my destiny

In the winding lines of your hand
In the twists and turns of your palm

Oh, and I see a lost unwanted orphan
I see myself as a lonely, unwanted child

Head right for the promised land
Heading straight for a life of fulfillment and happiness

Will get me every time
Will always affect me deeply

Every time
Without fail
