All I Ever Wanted
The Mystery Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There were moments I wasn't so sure
There was someone who came and loved like you
You made me feel like flying
I touch the sky
You made me see the world with my own eyes.
When the daylight fades
On a summers day
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was you.
You're the air I breathe
Watching over me
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was you.
You're all I ever wanted
You...
You make me feel like flying
All I ever wanted was you.
We were diving
To a brand new life
We were turning back
The hands of time
You kept your fire burning
You changed my mind
Will you be my saviour
Til the end of time.
When the daylight fades
On a summers day
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was you.
You're the air I breathe
Watching over me




You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was you.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Mystery's song All I Ever Wanted appear to be about finding the right person who makes life worth living. The singer is in awe of the person they have found, who loves them dearly, and has changed their perspective on the world. The person in question has made the singer feel like they can fly, as if they are unburdened by the troubles of the world.


The singer seems concerned that this person might not have been there forever, implying that there were moments when they were unsure whether the person would remain in their life. However, this person has stayed true to them, and their love has only grown stronger. The singer is grateful to have found them and is determined to stay with them for the rest of their life.


The song mixes images of flight with ideas of protection, and the feeling of security that can be associated with having someone special in our lives. The lyrics "You're the air I breathe, watching over me" create a powerful image of guardianship, that the person is not only a lover but a protector, a source of considerable comfort in times of danger.
