Every Song
On and On Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Magazines and afternoon dreams get me through the day
And till the night can smile for the people as I sing, and I play
I left home, it seems like, a century ago
I never thought I could miss anybody so, but now I know

[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, everything I do
Every song is you
Searched my mind just to find
Something I always knew
Everywhere I go, everything I do
Every song is you
Searched my mind just to find
Something I always knew
Every song is you

Singing man with a six-piece song band, answer to my dreams
And everytime I sing without you, how lonely it seems
I love you now like I never loved you before
Each day that goes by, I find that I want you so; I need you more

[Chorus]

Everywhere I go, everything I do
Every song is you
Searched my mind just to find
Something I always knew
Everywhere I go, everything I do
Every song is you
Searched my mind just to find




Something I always knew
Everywhere I go...

The song is all about the memories and love he has for someone and the pain of missing them.


The chorus of the song, "Everywhere I go, everything I do, every song is you" is particularly poignant, as it reflects how this someone is always on the singer's mind, no matter what he does or where he goes. The lyrics express a profound emotional attachment to this person, conveying that he can't escape his feelings or his memories of them, even when he's doing something as unrelated as singing a song.


Overall, "Every Song" by On and On is a beautiful song that conveys intense emotions of love, loss, and longing.

Line by Line Meaning

Magazines and afternoon dreams get me through the day
I rely on magazines and daydreams to pass the time


And till the night can smile for the people as I sing, and I play
I perform music to entertain and make people happy


I left home, it seems like, a century ago
It feels like I've been gone from home for a very long time


I never thought I could miss anybody so, but now I know
I didn't realize how much I could miss someone until now


Everywhere I go, everything I do
No matter where I am or what I'm doing


Every song is you
Each song I sing reminds me of you


Searched my mind just to find
I've tried to think hard to remember


Something I always knew
Something I've always felt deep down


Singing man with a six-piece song band, answer to my dreams
The singer and his band are like a dream come true


And everytime I sing without you, how lonely it seems
Performing without you makes me feel very alone

My love for you has grown stronger than ever before

Each day that passes, my desire and need for you grow stronger


Everywhere I go...
No matter where I am...

I'll paint the table whatever colour you want
You said I was able
I was stronger I thought
But you're every song in the world
You are every song
So take me out of here
Take me out of here
Take me out...
I try and lean over
Trying to stay the light
But I can't hear what you're saying
Over the tears in your eyes
But you're every song in the world
You are every song
So take me out of here
Take me out of here
Take me out...
So take me out of here
Take me out of here
Take me out...
Take me out of here
Take me out of here
Take me out...
So take me out...

Non riesco a smettere di ascoltarla. Non posso farne a meno.
Meravigliosa!

Walfredo della Gherardesca

This song is so underrated that it kills me

Onym0us

Saw them last night opening for Tennis. All I gotta say is I bought the album immediately. Epic Epic band.

Quarantine Klark

Great song, Great Album, Great band.

Big Bad Boss

strange, eye-catching and soulful, definitely something to set an interested soul astride on youtube for something just as good

Craig Burns

Accidentally came across this song with a joke post that said "Oh, you like music, name every song." So, I thought, there has got to be a song named "every". But, I found this gem instead. I really love it, and is going to definitely look more into this band.

Just felt like leaving a message on how little things work out by accident.

They didn't play this live when I saw them and I almost cried. My favorite.

Unreliable Narrator
