Everywhere
The Choices Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn it inside out so I can see-uh
The part of you that's drifting over me-uh
And when I wake you're--you're never there
And when I sleep you're--you're everywhere
You're everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are

'Cause every time I look
You're never there
And every time I sleep
You're always there

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that you might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I am not alone

And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone

You're in everyone I see

So tell me
Do you see me?

Overall Meaning

The Choices' song "Everywhere" is a love song that reflects on the feeling of being deeply connected to someone, even when they're not physically present. The lyrics speak of a person who is constantly thinking about and longing for someone they care about, even in their dreams. The line "Turn it inside out so I can see the part of you that's drifting over me" implies a desire to understand the loved one's thoughts and feelings that are influencing their relationship. The lyrics then express confusion and a desire for clarity, with lines like "Just tell me why you're here and who you are" and "It's hard to think that you might not be real." But despite the uncertainties, the singer finds comfort in the fact that their loved one is always with them, bringing them a sense of security.

The verses build to the chorus, which is the heart of the song. The repeated refrain of "you're everywhere to me" emphasizes the depth of feeling the singer has for their loved one, and as the chorus progresses, it becomes increasingly clear that this connection is what keeps the singer from feeling alone. The bridge brings a sense of resolution, with the lyrics referencing physical touch ("And when I touch your hand, it's then I understand") as well as the idea that the person they love is a source of light and guidance ("You always light my way").

Overall, "Everywhere" is a heartfelt song about the power of love and the feeling of a deep emotional connection that transcends physical distance or boundaries.

Our journey starts now

You always light my way
You guide me through life

I hope there never comes a day
A wish for perpetual bliss

No matter where I go
Even if I go far away

I always feel you so
You are always with me

'Cause you're everywhere to me
Once again, you exist everywhere in my thoughts

And when I catch my breath
Paused for a moment

It's you I breathe
I inhale and exhale you

You're in everyone I see
You are present in the way I perceive others

So tell me
Enlighten me

Do you see me?
Are you aware of my existence?
