Everything Will Be Alright
The Killers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I believe in you and me
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Wrong until you make it right
And I won't forget you
At least I'll try and run, and run tonight
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
La, la, la, la, la, oh-ho
I wasn't shopping for a doll
To say the least, I thought I've seen them all
But then you took me by surprise
I'm dreaming 'bout those dreamy eyes
I never knew, I never knew
So take your suitcase, 'cause I don't mind
And baby doll, I meant it every time
You don't need to compromise
I'm dreaming 'bout those dreamy eyes
I never knew, I never knew but it's alright, alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
It will be alright
The Killers’ song “Everything Will Be Alright” is a hopeful track that encourages listeners to stay strong and persevere through their hardships. The lyrics, “I believe in you and me / I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night / Wrong until you make it right / And I won't forget you / At least I'll try and run, and run tonight” evoke a sense of determination and unwavering support. The chorus repeats the phrase “Everything will be alright” to reinforce the idea that even when things seem hopeless, there is still a chance for things to turn around.
The second verse of the song takes a more romantic turn. The lines “I wasn't shopping for a doll / To say the least, I thought I've seen them all / But then you took me by surprise / I'm dreaming 'bout those dreamy eyes” suggest that the singer had given up on love until they met someone unexpected. The phrase “everything will be alright” is used again to reassure the lover and the singer that they don’t have to compromise who they are in order to be in a relationship.
The ending of the song features a refrain of “Everything will be alright” sung repeatedly, as if to really drive the message home. The song may not offer any ground-breaking advice or solutions to life’s problems, but it provides a sense of comfort and hope that is invaluable when things get tough.

Instrumental break
I wasn't shopping for a doll
I wasn't looking for just anyone
To say the least, I thought I've seen them all
I thought I'd met every type of person there was to meet
But then you took me by surprise
You came into my world unexpectedly and changed everything
I'm dreaming 'bout those dreamy eyes
I can't get you out of my head
I never knew, I never knew
I didn't realize this kind of love existed
So take your suitcase, 'cause I don't mind
You can leave if you need to and I won't hold you back
And baby doll, I meant it every time
I'm not just saying this now, I've always meant it
You don't need to compromise
You shouldn't have to sacrifice anything for our love
It will be alright
Everything will be okay
