Spend It All On You
Zac Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Runaway kings and queens
Won’t you hurt me like you did when we were just kids
Remember how it used to be
Cause I don’t want to take the love you give for granted
And let the colors fade to black
And all I see is the sands of time flying around me
I ain’t got much, ain’t got much
But the little that I got, you know
I’m gonna spend it on you
No matter what, what I got
Don’t mean nothing if I’m not, you know
Gonna spend it with you
Spend it all on you
Oh spend it all
Life is short and we forget what really matters
Lost in what we think we need
Find the thing you love the most and let it kill you
Can’t take it with you when you leave
I ain’t got much, ain’t got much
But the little that I got, you know
I’m gonna spend it on you
No matter what, what I got
Don’t mean nothing if I’m not, you know
Gonna spend it with you
Spend it all on you
Oh spend it all
All that I know
Without you there’s no me
And all that I need
Is your time
Spend it on me
I ain’t got much, ain’t got much
But the little that I got, you know
I’m gonna spend it on you
No matter what, what I got
Don’t mean nothing if I’m not, you know
Gonna spend it with you
Spend it all on you
Oh spend it all
The lyrics to Zac Brown's song "Spend It All On You" convey a heartfelt message about cherishing love and prioritizing what truly matters in life. The opening lines reflect on a time when the relationship had simplicity and innocence, back when they had nothing but each other. The reference to being "runaway kings and queens" suggests a sense of freedom and adventure in their love.
The lyrics then express a desire to not take the love for granted and to maintain the vibrancy and passion that once existed. The mention of the "colors fade to black" signifies the fear of losing the spark and excitement in the relationship. The line about the "sands of time flying around" embodies the fleeting nature of life and how precious moments cannot be regained once they pass.
The song emphasizes the importance of investing all one has in the person they love. The singer acknowledges that they may not have much material wealth, but what they do possess, they are willing to spend on their partner. This signifies a commitment to making the relationship the priority over material possessions. The repetition of the phrase "I'm gonna spend it on you" and "spend it all on you" reinforces this dedication.
Moving forward, the lyrics remind the listener that life is short and it is easy to lose sight of what truly matters amid the pursuit of material possessions. The line "Find the thing you love the most and let it kill you" suggests the idea of giving oneself completely to love and experiencing the full intensity of it. The message here is that one cannot take their possessions with them when they leave this world, so investing in love and relationships becomes even more significant.
Overall, "Spend It All On You" is a song that encourages individuals to value love above all else and to appreciate the simple joys and moments shared with their loved ones.

Thinking back on the days when we had nothing
Reflecting on the times when we didn't have much
Runaway kings and queens
Dreaming of a life that is free and adventurous
Won’t you hurt me like you did when we were just kids
Please bring back the intense emotions we felt when we were young
Remember how it used to be
Recall the beautiful moments we shared in the past
Cause I don’t want to take the love you give for granted
I want to appreciate and value the love you give me
And let the colors fade to black
I don't want our vibrant love to fade away
And all I see is the sands of time flying around me
I am aware of how time is passing quickly
And we can never get it back
We can never regain the time we've lost
I ain’t got much, ain’t got much
I don't possess a lot
But the little that I got, you know
However, the little I do have
I’m gonna spend it on you
I will cherish and invest it in you
No matter what, what I got
Regardless of what I possess
Don’t mean nothing if I’m not, you know
It means nothing if I'm not with you
Gonna spend it with you
I'll use it to create memories with you
Spend it all on you
Devote all of my resources and love to you
Oh spend it all
Completely dedicate myself to you
Life is short and we forget what really matters
We often lose sight of what is truly important in our short lives
Lost in what we think we need
Distracted by material desires and wants
Find the thing you love the most and let it kill you
Discover your passion and allow it to consume you
Can’t take it with you when you leave
We can't bring our possessions with us after death
All that I know
The only thing I'm certain of
Without you there’s no me
I am incomplete without you
And all that I need
The only thing I truly need
Is your time
Is your presence and attention
Spend it on me
Please devote your time to me
I ain’t got much, ain’t got much
I don't possess a lot
But the little that I got, you know
However, the little I do have
I’m gonna spend it on you
I will cherish and invest it in you
No matter what, what I got
Regardless of what I possess
Don’t mean nothing if I’m not, you know
It means nothing if I'm not with you
Gonna spend it with you
I'll use it to create memories with you
Spend it all on you
Devote all of my resources and love to you
Oh spend it all
Completely dedicate myself to you
