Give You the World
Steve Lacy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get you closer next to me
Said, girl, I'll be patient and slow
'Cause I got time, shit, maybe forever
You're so fickle and cold
But you feel so electric
Tell me, what I gotta do?
To move a little closer to you
If you want me to
I'll share my heart
I'm not anxious
I'll tell the truth
You know, if you feel about the same way, yeah
I'd feel so out my mind, could be dangerous
We'll fall (we'll fall, I'd fall)
But I'll give you the world
I'll give you the world
I'll give you the world
I'll give you the world now, now
Here we are togethering
In love, in the sun, yeah
And rain, so many cloudy days
To keep us inside
Ooh, babe, I'm 'bout to cave in
Filling up inside, I'm filling with doubts
But I don't want a fuss
You pushed and I tugged
I'm so scary
But I'm not so tough
You know, I had to want it bad
The feeling that was warm, ooh, whoa, whoa
Baby, it's gone, it died
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
But I gave you the world
I gave you the world
I gave you the world
I gave you the world
World, oh
Please, I don't want hate
Instead I'm gonna love you like you were new
And when I love you on your own
You'll miss me, goodbye, ooh
Oh, oh, ooh, oh

Before listening to Steve Lacy i was a hopeless being.
i had no job, no home, no friends, no family. I was a loser.
ignored by everyone and loved by none, not even myself. Every second i questioned my existence on this earth, if i should still even be here, alive.
After listening the entire album of Gemini Rights, the
indescribable, bewildering, staggering and awe-inspiring feeling made me realize I have a purpose to live,
a reason to stay on this beautiful planet named earth,
and finally a reason to become happy. I off my ass, made friends, became popular, got a job and I'm even rich now.
I live in a mansion with
uncountable amounts of women. and I own 5 islands now.
Thank you so much steve lacy, for changing my life!

This song tbh makes me feel like im in a movie scene..
imagine this.
Relationship going south..bills need to be paid, long hours at work, kids to take care of... and it feels like the whole world is falling apart.
One night after the kids are asleep, you decide to go up to the attic and look through your old photo album of you and your (bf/gf) from when you were younger... when you didnt have bills... long hours of work.. no stress.. just love.. but you find your photo of when you were getting married... as you pick up the photo a little letter slips out.. as you read this you feel a feeling of comfort.. "I promise I will do my best to give you everything I never had.. for you.. for us. Ill do anything in my power to give you the world."
imagine 2.
Everything is going amazing.. you just got home from work.. as you walk in.. you see rose petals scattered around the floor as this song plays in the background.. as you admire what you see and hear, a sudden voice speaks softly "Welcome home y/n." as they take your hand to dance along the smooth floor in your socks.. as the candles light up the room.. you feel safe.. loved.. like you have the world.
