All The Way
Nat Simpkins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's no good unless he loves you, all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you, all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you, all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years, come what may
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you, all the way
All the way
The lyrics of Nat Simpkins's song "All The Way" speak to the depth and intensity of love, and the importance of committing to a relationship with all of one's heart. The opening lines convey the idea that love must be genuine - it is not enough for someone to merely love you partially or half-heartedly. Love must be all-encompassing, a feeling that is happy to be near you and ready to provide comfort and support whenever needed.
The next stanza uses metaphor to illustrate the depth of love. The love spoken of in the song must be taller than the tallest tree and deeper than the deepest sea. These descriptions emphasize the enormity of true love, as well as the fact that such love cannot be forced or manufactured.
The chorus then returns, reiterating the point that love must be wholehearted, enduring, and capable of surviving both the good times and the difficult ones. The lyrics acknowledge that the future is uncertain, but make it clear that the singer is committed to loving their partner "all the way."
