We The Kings- All Again For You
We the Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walked alone
On the beach
Where we always used to go
When we couldn't hook up at home
I thought of you
And the time we jumped the fence
We dove right in
And the cops chased us again
When you were mine
You know
We had it all in front of us
You were the one
I was in love
But you always hurt
The one you lost
I couldn't get enough
You were everything
That's meant for me
Make no apologies
I'm crushed
Black and blue
But you know
I'd do it all again for you
Today, dressed up
In designer drugs
Dedicated to the one
I'll always love
The one who really messed me up
I let you take the wheel
And the driver's seat
Strapped in
So you get the best of me
Now what's left are the memories
When you were mine
You know
We had it all in front of us
You were the one
I was in love
But you always hurt
The one you lost
I couldn't get enough
You were everything
That's bad for me
Make no apologies
I'm crushed
Black and blue
But you know
I'd do it all again for you
I am standing in the ocean rain
Rough and ready
For your deadly game
I've got nowhere else to go
We had it all in front of us
You were the one
I was in love
But you always hurt
The one you lost
I couldn't get enough
You were everything
That's bad for me
Make no apologies
I'm crushed
Black and blue
But you know
I'd do it all again for you
(You know I'd do it all again for you)
(I swear I'd do it all again for you)
The song "All Again For You" by We the Kings chronicles a past relationship that once held great promise, but ultimately ended in heartbreak. The singer finds himself unable to forget his former lover, even though he knows she may not be good for him. Despite the pain and heartache he has experienced, he is still willing to go through it all again just to be with her.
Throughout the song, the singer reminisces about the good times he shared with his ex-girlfriend. He remembers sneaking out to the beach with her when they couldn't be alone at home, jumping a fence to go skinny dipping in a pool, and narrowly escaping the police. He also admits that he let her take control of the relationship, submitting himself entirely to her whims and desires.
Despite the joy and passion they shared, however, their love ultimately proved to be destructive. The singer acknowledges that his former lover "really messed [him] up" and left him "crushed, black, and blue." Yet despite everything, he cannot help but love her and long to be with her once again.
Overall, the song is a bittersweet exploration of the complexities of love and the pain that can come from letting someone into your heart. It is a poignant reminder that even when love doesn't work out, the memories and the feelings that we shared with our partners can be both beautiful and painful.
