Everything I Want
Matthew Puckett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A thousand miles
It's hard to hear you
Through the static
Searching for something to say

A time machine
A magic beam of light
I need a miracle
To get you back here tonight

I'll make you laugh
With shooting stars overhead
Sharing the dreams
That wake you up when you're sad
Tightly holding your hand

You're everything that i want
I'll never give up
Been through this before
And it can get rough
You can push me away
I can deal with the pain
I need you to know
You're everything that i want

In your eyes
There are secrets
I want you here
So i can see them

You're everything that i want
I'll never give up
Been through this before
And it can get rough
You can push me away
I can deal with the pain

Mistakes in the past
Let's make them again
I need you to know
You're everything that i want

You know me well
Better than anyone else
I trust your words
Those little things that you say
They always make it okay

BRIDGE
Friday night
Saturday morning
Simple days
Funny stories
I take 'em in
And i adore 'em
All i need
And everything that i want

You're everything that i want
I'll never give up
Been through this before
And it can get rough
You can push me away
I can deal with the pain
Mistakes in the past
Let's make them again
I need your touch
I need this love




I need you to know
You're everything that i want

Overall Meaning

Matthew Puckett's song Everything I Want shows a sense of longing and desperation to be with someone the singer misses deeply. The first verse talks about the distance between the two of them and how hard it is to communicate through the static between them. The singer wishes for a time machine or magic beam of light to make everything alright and (s)he needs a miracle to bring back the loved one right here, right now.


The second verse talks about the secrets in the eyes of the loved one that the singer wants to see in person. The chorus, which repeats a few times, says how the person is everything that the singer wants and that (s)he will never give up or abandon them. Even though they've been through rough times before, they have the strength to endure the pain and push through it together.


The bridge talks about how the singer cherishes the small moments they share together: Friday night, Saturday morning, simple days, and funny stories. They take these memories in and love them, and the singer realizes that these moments are everything and everything they want.
