Everything
Outasight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can never be your everything, anything, all the things you want
You keep asking for but you never gon’ get
I can never be the one to light your smoke, laugh at your joke
Fix you up when you were broke, truer words were never spoke
I can never be what you family wants, Ivy League, clean cut
Dream house in the burbs, yard as far as the eyes can see
I can never be standing there while you sitting round
Talking to your friends about shit I just don’t care about

[Chorus]
Everything that you want, you just can’t have, you just can’t have
No, it’s never enough, you got everything, all you want is more
Everything that you want, you just can’t have, you just can’t have
No, it’s never enough, you got everything, all you want is more
You got everything, all you want is more
You got everything, what you want?

I can never be the one to pick you up every time you fall
Another summer you went AWOL, you’re not something I’m looking for
I can never be the one to read your mind like an open book
Don’t want a peak, don’t need a look, been there too many times before
I can never be the one to light your smoke, laugh at your joke
Give you money when you were broke, truer words were never spoke
I can never be watching you with all friends
Talking all that junk again, sorry but everything’s changed

[Chorus]

See, I'mma fool for your loving but I had to learn when push came to shove
When you spent my last dollar, don’t pick up my call at all
And I didn’t hear back for a week, no, you standing at my door
Looking fine in a trench and I’m pretty damn sure ain’t nothing underneath
Sheesh and I’m only human, please don’t judge me for what we doing





[Chorus]
