Miracle
Red Cult Ft Mike And The Mechanics Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said go if you want to go
Stay if you want to stay
I didn't care if you hung around me
I didn't care if you went away
And I know you were never right
I'll admit I was never wrong
I could never make up my mind
I made it up as I went along

And though I treated you like a child
I'm gonna miss you for the rest of my life

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you
All I need is a miracle, all I need is you
All I need is a miracle, all I need is you

I never had any time
And I never had any call
But I went out of my way just to hurt you
The one I shouldn't hurt at all
I thought I was being cool
Yeah, I thought I was being strong
But it's always the same old story
You never know what you've got 'til it's gone

If I ever catch up with you
I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you
(All I need is a miracle) all I need is a miracle, all I need is you
(All I need is a miracle) all I need is a miracle, all I need is you

And if I ever catch up with you
I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you
(All I need is a miracle) all I need is a miracle, all I need is you
(All I need is a miracle) all I need is a miracle, all I need is you
(All I need is a miracle) all I need is a, all I need is a
(All I need is a miracle) all I need is you
(All I need is a miracle) all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)
(All I need is a miracle, all I need is a miracle

(All I need is a miracle) all I need is a miracle
(All I need is a miracle)

Overall Meaning

The song "Miracle" by Red Cult ft. Mike and The Mechanics is a song about the realization that one takes for granted the love of someone until they are gone. The song is about a relationship that has ended, with one person feeling like they were being treated as a child, and the other person never having time or care for the other. The lyrics express regret and a longing to have that person back, with the chorus repeating "All I need is a miracle, all I need is you."

The first verse shows the detachment and lack of care from the singer towards their partner. They didn't mind if the partner stayed or left, and they believed they were never wrong. The chorus then shows that the singer realizes that they need the person they pushed away and that they were the miracle that they needed. In the second verse, the singer admits to hurting their partner intentionally and thought that they were being "cool." They realize that they were "never know what you've got 'til it's gone" and in the end, they promise to love their partner for the rest of their life.

Overall, the song's message is clear, and the lyrics show the emotions that come with a failed relationship - regret, longing, and desire to make things right.

Line by Line Meaning

I said go if you want to go
I gave you the option to leave if you wanted to

Stay if you want to stay
I also gave you the option to stay

I didn't care if you hung around me
Your presence or absence didn't matter to me

I didn't care if you went away
I was indifferent to you leaving

And I know you were never right
You were never correct

I'll admit I was never wrong
I am willing to concede that I was never incorrect

I could never make up my mind
I struggled to come to a decision

I made it up as I went along
I improvised as I went

And though I treated you like a child
I treated you in a patronizing manner

I'm gonna miss you for the rest of my life
I will regret your absence forever

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you
I require a miracle in the form of your presence

(All I need is a miracle) all I need is a miracle, all I need is you
The miracle I need is you

(All I need is a miracle) all I need is a miracle, all I need is you
Once again, the miracle I require is you

I never had any time
I was always too busy

And I never had any call
I had no reason to contact you

But I went out of my way just to hurt you
I purposely hurt you even though I didn't have to

The one I shouldn't hurt at all
You were the last person I should have hurt

I thought I was being cool
I believed I was acting in a calm, collected manner

Yeah, I thought I was being strong
I also thought I was exhibiting strength

But it's always the same old story
It's a familiar pattern

You never know what you've got 'til it's gone
You don't fully appreciate something until it's taken away

If I ever catch up with you
If we ever cross paths again

I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life
I will shower you with affection for the rest of your days

(All I need is a miracle) all I need is a miracle, all I need is you
Once again, you are the miracle that I require

(All I need is a miracle) all I need is a miracle, all I need is you
You are the only thing I need to make things right

(All I need is a miracle) all I need is a miracle
A miracle would solve everything

(All I need is a miracle) all I need is a miracle
I need a miracle to fix what I've done wrong

(All I need is a miracle) all I need is you
You are the miracle that can make things right
