All The Way
Katie Pearlman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was like midnight
Those sheets were off white
And your room looks roam twilight cowboy dreams
We took off our jeans
And that′s when we laid down
Mattress on the ground
And we poured our thoughts across the empty space
'Til we came face to face
And you told me you were anxious about tomorrow
′Cause you didn't know what the sun light might bring
And I got so comfortable next to your feeling's
Then my whole damn body had to stop and think

We haven′t even Touched
But we just went all the way {wooohooo}
All the way {wooohooo}
All the way
Now I′m over here and thinking about all the ways
All the ways {wooohoooo}
I'm wide awake, with all the thing′s, I wanna say
To get closer to you {woooohooooo}
Mmmmhhhmmmm {woooohoooo}
Don't you feel it too
All the ways, all the ways

It was like rain drops
Dripping on my skin
Your every word was running down my back
So I just had to ask
How did your parents meet
Please tell me everything
I need to know is it something like this mmmm

We haven′t even Touched
But we just went all the way {wooohooo}
All the way {wooohooo}
All the way
Now I'm over here and thinking about all the ways {woooohoooo}
All the ways {wooohoooo}
I′m wide awake, with all the thing's, I wanna say
To get closer to you {woooohooooo}
Mmmmhhhmmmm {woooohoooo}
Don't you feel it too
All the ways

There he goes, don.t know if he′ll ever knoooooow
There he goes, don′t know if he'll ever know
There he goes, don′t know if he'll ever knoooooow, oh
I want ya to know

We haven′t even touched
But we just went all the way
All the way
All the way
Now I'm over here and thinking about all the ways




All the ways
I′m wide awake, with all the thing's, I wanna say

It was like midnight
The moment feels late and intimate


Those sheets were off white
The color of the sheets is noticeable in the dim lighting


And your room looks roam twilight cowboy dreams
The room feels like a wild west dream with its lighting and decor


We took off our jeans
Clothing is removed to better feel the moment


And that's when we laid down
The physical connection begins with laying down


Mattress on the ground
The unconventional setting conveys a willingness to take risks


And we poured our thoughts across the empty space
Talking fills the empty space and builds a connection


'Til we came face to face
The conversation brings them closer together


And you told me you were anxious about tomorrow
Sharing fears and anxieties creates emotional intimacy


'Cause you didn't know what the sun light might bring
Future uncertainty causes anxiety


And I got so comfortable next to your feeling's
Feeling comfortable with emotions and vulnerability


Then my whole damn body had to stop and think
The emotions cause a physical reaction and lead to reflection


We haven't even Touched
Physical intimacy hasn't happened yet


But we just went all the way {wooohooo}

Dripping on my skin
The physical sensation deepens the moment and connection


Your every word was running down my back
The intimacy and connection deepens with continued conversation

Curiosity and desire to know the person better


How did your parents meet
Wanting to better understand the person's history and background


Please tell me everything
The desire to learn and understand more about the person is strong
