Everywhere I Go
Shawn Mullins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday a sad goodbye
I told you that it wouldn't be for long
But it seems like a thousand years since I've been gone
Oh, what I'd give to hold you in my arms
Can't you see how much I need you tonight
I'm going crazy girl, can't get you off of my mind

Everyday that I live without you
I just can't help but dream about you
Everywhere I go
And after all the love that I've left behind me
You're the one I keep inside me
Everywhere I go, I get that feeling

It's hard to be so far apart
When thoughts of you keep coming on so strong
I picture you in every face I see
Now I know I left a part of me back home with you
There's nothing like falling for the very first time
I won't forget you girl, for the rest of my life

Everyday that I live without you
I just can't help but dream about you
Everywhere I go
And after all the love that I've left behind me
You're the one I keep inside me
Everywhere I go

I get that feeling
Everywhere I go
I get that feeling
You're with me everywhere I go

Everyday that I live without you
I just can't help but dream about you
Everywhere I go
And after all the love that I've left behind me
You're the one I keep inside me
Everywhere I go
So when you're feeling lonely baby keep on shining




You'll always be here right beside me
Everywhere I go

A good bit of me sleeps underneath
In the bed of my soul, lying next to belief
If toss where I lay, I might turn her away
So I try to fall, still dreamin' someday I will

Wake up with you beside me
With all of your love inside me
So when I am gone it guides me on

Everywhere I go, you know
I take you with me, sweet darlin'
Everywhere I go, you know
I take you with me, yeah

A good bit of me keeps to the sky
On the back of a cloud, unaware of how high
If I stay where I lay, I might drift away soon
From the pull of the sun, I am full of the moon

But baby, you're the one who grounds me
When the sounds of this world surround me
Your love, it took a look and found me
Lost and on my own

Everywhere I go, you know
I take you with me, sweet darlin'
Everywhere I go, you know
I take you with me, yeah

And baby, I always try
Look at my life through open eyes
And baby, my dream came true
With the treasure I found inside of you

Everywhere I go, you know
I take you with me, sweet darlin'
Everywhere I go, you know
I take you with me, sweet darlin'

Everywhere I go, you know
I take you with me, sweet darlin'
Everywhere I go, you know
I take you with me, yeah

Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go

22 years on since I first heard this, I have grown old but this song still remains fresh. What a wonderful voice....

Lori Ashton

Shawn Mullins is so talented.  Love his style - down to earth, creative, and positive.  I've been looking for this song for a while now, and I'm so glad I found it!

Nick Fox

i dont use the term underrate too often. But Shawn is criminally underrated.

Adam W.

I knew his big hit, “Lullaby” from 98/99 and really liked it. Never heard anything else from him until 2015 when I heard this playing in the lobby of the hotel I worked at. I Shazam’d it and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was Shawn! I thought for sure it was a new single or something but read that it was from 2000? I couldn’t believe that this didn’t get more radio play! I LOVE THIS SONG!
