Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something no one else can do
Something no one else can see
And I want you, I want you to know
All I have is you, all I need is you
All I want is you
Darling, I'll let you guide me
Tell me that you want me
And I want you, I want you to know
All I have is you, all I need is you
All I want is you
Mmmmm mmm mmmm x 3
And I want you, I want you to know
All I have is you, all I need is you
All I want is you
The lyrics of Perrin Lamb's 'Everyone's Got Something' touch upon themes of unrequited love, longing, and the perceived uniqueness of individuals. The opening lines, "Everyone's got something, something no one else can do, something no one else can see" suggest that the love interest in question possesses qualities that are extraordinary and can't be matched by anyone else. The singer acknowledges this and expresses their desire to be with this person, which is emphasized by the repeated phrases "And I want you, I want you to know. All I have is you, all I need is you. All I want is you".
While the singer's focus is on the "someone" they love and their unique qualities, they offer themselves up to be "guided" by this love interest. The line, "Darling, I'll let you guide me, tell me that you want me" signifies a willingness to put aside the singer's own desires and instead cater to the whims of their love interest. This could be interpreted as the singer's need for this person to complete them in some way.
Overall, the lyrics of the song convey intense emotions of longing and desire, while also commenting on the concept of individuality and how it determines our connections with others. Perrin Lamb has avoided making the lyrics overly specific or gendered, making them relatable to anyone experiencing unrequited love.

on There is No Me Without You
When I fall I fall hard
I fall right into your arms
This whole world is black and white
I can see the colours in your eyes
This is what it feels like to truly be free
To love someone honestly
One thing I can tell you will always be true
There is no me without you
Got thing down to an art
Short on cash but long on heart
Tattered ends dont always meet
We got everything we need
This is what it feels like to truly be free
To love someone honestly
One thing I can tell you will always be true
There is no me without you
