Bring Me Everything
The City Drive Lyrics

In this hotel
He sets the setting of the song and where he is.

Television's on
The TV is on which could have significance later on.

Sound is down
All other sound is muted, just the TV is running.

And everybody's gone
Everyone else in the hotel is gone, he's alone.

Just you and me
Only two people remain in this lonely hotel.

And I wish I could be
He desires to be elsewhere.

Far away
He wants to be in a different location.

In another scene
He wants to be in a different environment.

If only..
He ruminates on the possibility of escape.

Starry-eyed kid
He refers to a younger version of himself.

Look what you did
What he did is yet unclear.

You drank too much
He's regretting something from the past related to alcohol.

And you never could resist
He lacked self-control in his past.

Give a weak smile
He looks back and remembers his facial expression.

Lying on the tile
He may have passed out or thrown up on the bathroom floor.

And I count up all the times I've
He recounts his past mistakes.

Died
He's referring to a part of himself that he lost.

I'm losing the sparkle in my
He's losing his sense of hopefulness.

Eye
He's using the eyes as a metaphor for hope.

I just wanna say
He's opening up with his feelings.

Stay with me
He's asking someone to stay by his side.

I will bring it back to you
He will restore something to the person who stays with him.

Bring me everything
He wants everything available to him.

Get me on track
He needs help to get back on the right path.

Comin' up faster
Something is approaching soon.

Faster than I can
He can't keep up with the approaching event.

It is work
Whatever is coming requires effort.

In need of a plan
He recognizes the need for a plan.

If I move slow
He's cautious of his pace.

The moon'll let me go
He'll have escaped by the time the moon sets.

I know, yeah, I know
He's confident in this plan.

Try
He's attempting something.

Try as I might I cannot
His attempt is currently unsuccessful.

Find
He's looking for someone or something.

Someone to say
He's seeking a specific type of response from someone.

(It once and mean it)
The response he wants requires sincere effort.

I'm done with the run-through
He's finished with the previous cycle.

I will bring it back
He will restore or return something or someone.

To you
He's directing his statement to someone specifically.

Feel like I'm running out of time
He recognizes the urgency of his situation.

Won't someone say
He's asking for help.

An American girl
He's describing someone he's targeting his message towards.

Looking at the world
This person sees the world similarly to him.

The way that I do
Their perspective is identical.

You're just like me
He's making the connection that they are similar.

Stay with me
He's asking for their companionship.

I will bring it back to you
He will restore or return something to this person if they stay with him.
