All the Way
Pippis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's no good unless he loves you, all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you, all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you, all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years, come what may
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you, all the way
All the way
These lyrics convey the idea that true love requires complete commitment and dedication. Pippin sings about how it’s not enough for someone to simply love you, but they must love you “all the way”. The verse highlights how important it is to have someone who is always there for you, cheering you up when you need it most.
Furthermore, the chorus is particularly poignant, asserting that love should be like a tree that is taller than any other, and an ocean that is deeper than the deepest of blues. The lyrics make it clear that love should be felt in a profound manner, implying that otherwise it's not “real” love. The second verse emphasizes that love must be 100% unconditional through the good times and the bad, for all the in-between years, regardless of what may come.
