Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's a girl that I could do without
Everywhere I go she's there
Everywhere I go she stares
If she keeps moving' in well I'm pulling' out
Everyday
I'm afraid to know who's calling me
And when I'm feeling like
She's creeping' up on me from behind
My skin starts crawling deep inside
She's a girl who likes to scream and shout
She's a girl that I could do without
Everywhere I go she's there
Everywhere I go she stares
If she keeps moving' in well I'm pulling' out
She's a joke
She's really doesn't have a clue
She's like a hungry homeless dog who's
Chasing me
I don't work well with those
Who won't leave you alone for a while
The kind that make you their whole life
She's a girl who likes to scream and shout
She's a girl that I could do without
Everywhere I go she's there
Everywhere I go she stares
If she keeps moving' in well I'm pulling' out
I don't work well with those
Who won't leave you alone for a while
The kind that make you their whole life
She's a girl who likes to scream and shout
She's a girl that I could do without
Everywhere I go she's there
Everywhere I go she stares
If she keeps moving' in well I'm pulling' out
Everywhere I go she's there
Everywhere I go she stares
If she keeps moving' in well I'm pulling' out
The song "Everywhere I Go" by Joseph Williams is a commentary on a toxic and obsessive relationship. The singer sings of a woman who follows him everywhere and stares at him, causing him discomfort and making him feel like he is constantly being watched. He describes her as a girl who likes to scream and shout, someone he could easily do without. He explains that he is afraid to even answer his phone, as he expects another endless message from her. Her constant presence causes him to feel like she is creeping up on him from behind, making his skin crawl.
The lyrics suggest that the woman is insecure and clingy, unable to leave him alone for a while. She is like a "hungry homeless dog" who is chasing him, unsure of how to sustain herself without him. The singer is clear that he cannot work well with someone who 'makes you their whole life.' In the end, he proclaims that if she keeps moving in on him, he is pulling out.
Overall, the song seems to be about the need for boundaries and the importance of leaving toxic relationships behind. The singer recognizes that he cannot sustain a relationship with someone who is so demanding and controlling, and he makes a clear decision to walk away if necessary.
