Everything
SUPERFRUIT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I woke up from a bad dream
Something's chasing me
Is this home or am I in a movie?
With an unhappy ending
Wait around for a sign or a new sound
So I can hit the ground running, oh honey
Would you like to come with me?
I've given my everything, everything
I'd give it with feeling
A sentimental man
I've given my everything, everything
We'll dance on the ceiling
With everything, everything, everything we can
Shake it off, no it's not always easy
I just need some time
Kill me now, with all of your kindness
Help me change my mind
Take me there, to a sign or a new sound
Look at us, we're off and running, oh honey
To a place I'd rather be
I've given my everything, everything
I'd give it with feeling
A sentimental man
I've given my everything, everything
We'll dance on the ceiling
With everything, everything, everything we can
I've given my everything, everything
I'd give it with feeling
A sentimental man
I've given my everything, everything
We'll dance on the ceiling
With everything, everything, everything we can
I've given my everything, everything
I'd give it with feeling
A sentimental man
I've given my everything, everything
We'll dance on the ceiling
With everything, everything, everything we can
I've given my everything, everything
I'd give it with feeling
A sentimental man
I've given my everything, everything
We'll dance on the ceiling
With everything, everything, everything we can
