All I Want
Ord Maren Lyrics

In Ord Maren’s song All I Want, the singer expresses their longing for someone who is not physically with them. The first stanza acknowledges the distance between the two, but also implies a certain sense of frustration with the situation. The lyrics “I can’t ponder on you forever” suggest that although the singer may have been trying to distract themselves from the separation, they are unable to do so indefinitely. The following line, “So what if the night is dreary without you here to brighten up my sky” emphasizes the emptiness that the singer feels without their loved one’s presence.

The chorus is a simple repetition of the title phrase, “All I want is you,” which acts as a powerful reminder of the main idea of the song. The repetition creates a pleading undertone to the lyrics, as if the singer is trying to summon the object of their affection back to them. The second verse contains a hint of frustration, with lines like “I figured it’d be a shorter while,” indicating that the singer may have assumed the separation would not take so long. The line “And I miss you here in my arms” once again emphasizes the physical distance between the two and the singer's deep longing for their loved one.
