Whatever
Our Lady Peace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's no holding me back
I'm not driven by fear
I'm just driven by anger
And you're under attack
I'm just climbing up slowly
I'm the one and only
The tease, the way you lie
The stumble in your mind
The fear, the hope inside
They hit here
Hit here

But whatever you need
'Ever you got
'Ever you want
I'll take back again
Whatever you need
'Ever you got
'Ever you want

I'll take back again
There's no holding me back
I'm not driven by fear
I'm just driven by anger
And you're under attack
I'm just climbing up slowly
I'm the one and only
The tease, the way you lie
The stumble in your mind
The fear, the hope inside

They hit here
Hit here
But whatever you need
'Ever you got
'Ever you want
I'll take back again
Whatever you need

'Ever you got
'Ever you want
I'll take back again
Though whatever you need
'Ever you got

But whatever you need
'Ever you got
'Ever you want
I'll take back again
Whatever you need
'Ever you got
'Ever you want

I'll take back again
Whatever you need
'Ever you got
'Ever you want
I'll take back again
But whatever you need
'Ever you got

Whatever you oh oh
Whatever you oh oh oh oh




Whatever you oh oh
Whatever you oh oh oh oh
