Everything
Jonathan Clay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The kind of power that you hold, yeah
Sometimes I wonder
If it ever gets old
I watch you go around
And put up your walls
I wonder what it'd take
'Cause you've got me down
Got me confused
And lately I don't know what to do
I've given you everything
That I have to give
Somehow you've got me doing things
I never did
And I'm trying not
To lose my head
But something keeps on telling me
That I can't give up yet
No I can't give up yet
And do you know
What you do when you smile?
Sometimes I wish you'd hold it
For awhile, yeah
I watch their faces
As you pass them by
And I wonder what it's like
To not even try
'Cause you've got me down
Got me confused
And lately I don't know what to do
I've given you everything
That I have to give
Somehow you've got me doing things
I never did
And I'm trying not
To lose my head
But something keeps on telling me
That I can't give up yet
No I can't give up yet
Could you give me half the time
To let me change your stubborn mind
'Cause tonight I've got a feeling
That you're much simpler
Than you like to think
That you are, to think that you are.
To think that you are, oh.
I've given you everything
That I have to give
Somehow you've got me doing things
I never did
And I'm trying not, trying not
To lose my head
But something keeps on telling me
That I, I can't give you
Everything
That I have to give
Somehow you've got me doing things
I never did
And I'm trying not
To lose my head
But something keeps on telling me
That I can't give up yet, no
No I can't give up yet, no
No I can't give up yet
No I, I can't give up yet
No I can't give up yet
No I can't give up yet...
In Jonathan Clay's song "Everything," he sings about being captivated by someone and the power they hold over him. He wonders if this person is aware of the control they have over others and if they ever tire of it. Clay observes the walls this person puts up and wonders what it would take to break them down. Despite feeling confused by this person, he has given everything he has to offer and finds himself doing things he never thought possible. He tries not to lose his head, but is constantly reminded that he can't give up on them just yet.
The lyrics in this song paint a picture of someone who is both mysterious and captivating. The person being sung about is so powerful that they can affect those around them without even trying. The walls they put up may represent emotional barriers that Clay is trying to break down. The line "And do you know what you do when you smile? Sometimes I wish you'd hold it for awhile" suggests that this person's smile is enough to make others forget their troubles.
The song explores the idea that love and attraction aren't always straightforward. Sometimes we find ourselves drawn to people who confuse us or make us feel lost. We might struggle to understand why we're so attached to them, but we still can't bear to let go. "Everything" captures these complex feelings perfectly.

I'm fallling in, I'm falling down
I wanna begin but I don’t know how
To let you know how I’m feeling
I'm high on hope, I'm reeling
And I won’t let you go
Now you know
I’ve been crazy for you all this time
I’ve kept it close
Always hoping
With a heart on fire
A heart on fire
Hand in hand, sparkling eyes
The days are bright and so are the nights
‘Cause when I’m with you I’m grinning
Once I was screwed and now I’m winning
No I won’t let you go
Now you know
I’ve been crazy for you all this time
I’ve kept it close
Always hoping
With a heart on fire
A heart on fire
With a heart on fire
A heart on fire
Let me walk through life with you
Everybody dreams of having
What we do
Like a rollling thunder
You put me out from under
And I won’t let you go
Now you know
I’ve been crazy for you all this time
I’ve kept it close
Always hoping
With a heart on fire
A heart on fire
