Everytime
Seeker Lover Keeper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Call me up and bring me back to life
Friend, far but never gone
I forgot to say that it's been too long
Late nights and too much time
On my hands I lie
Awake with your song in my head
'Cause I've got you by my side
This is how it should be
This is how it should be
This is how it should
Be, this is how
Everytime, everytime
I feel you're gone
I get your song in my head
It's my favorite one
Yeah, everytime, everytime
I feel you're gone
I get your song in my head
It's my favorite one
Eyes shut I lay down still next to the speaker
I think about the times we've been together
Friend, far but never gone
I forgot to say that it's been too long
This is how it should be
This is how it should be
This is how it should
Be, this is how
Everytime, everytime
I feel you're gone
I get your song in my head
It's my favorite one
Yeah, everytime, everytime
I feel you're gone
I get your song in my head
It's my favorite one
The one you wrote
When you were away
My favorite song
Reminds me of you, oh, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, oh
This is how it should be
This is how it should be
This is how it should
Be, this is how
Everytime, everytime
I feel you're gone
I get your song in my head
It's my favorite one
Everytime, everytime
I feel you're gone
I get your song in my head
It's my favorite one
The one you wrote
My favorite song
Reminds me of you

The lyrics also highlight the power of music to serve as a bridge between people who are apart. The singer describes how she thinks about her friend "everytime" she hears their favorite song, which she imagines was written while the friend was away. The song becomes a symbol that reminds the singer of her friend and their shared experiences, helping her to feel close to the friend even though they cannot be together.
Overall, the song is a poignant expression of the bittersweet feelings that arise when friends are separated by distance. The lyrics convey both the pain of missing someone and the comfort that comes from remembering the good times and feeling the connection that remains.
