Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're, you're never there
And when I sleep you're, you're everywhere
You're everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
You're never there
And every time I sleep
You're always there

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
You might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I am not alone
Oh whoa, oh, oh

And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone

You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?

    I think its about the man of her dreams, who she hasn't met yet, and she keeps looking for him.. but he's only in her dreams. Possibly... he died/doesn't like her back/he doesn't exist...

    Now.. for a mini-rant... Music is only what it means to you. Just because a person believes this song is about God, doesn't mean it isn't. I am in no way religious. I believe in some higher power, and I respect that.. but this isn't about my religious background. Its about music. Songs that have multiple possible meanings sell the best. Why? Because if its written to where it can be about a guy, or about God.. then you satisfy more people, and sell more records. End. Of. Story.

    It happens to the best of us.. We fall totally in love/infatuation.. She falls for a guy and in reality he is never with her but whenever she is dreaming He is always in her dreams

    "I recognize the way you make me feel It's hard to think that you might not be real I sense it now, the water's getting deep I try to wash the pain away from me Away from me "

    She recognizes itsjust a dream and she is going way over herself.. and with hat realisation it i hurting her that he is not real or he just doesnt love her so she tries to rub it off..

    "And when I touch your hand It's then I understand The beauty that's within It's now that we begin You always light my way I hope there never comes a day No matter where I go I always feel you so"

    she just accepts him as a part of her and just within and its like she will always keep him there to make her feel WHOLE

    CUTE SONG and nice beat.. the lyris rock too MILLY

    I am fully convinced this song is about God. All the lyrics indicate God to me, but a few stand out. Such as "You're everything I know that makes me believe I'm not alone." Much more than that, though, is "I recognize the way you make me feel. It's hard to think that you might not be real." If she's singing about a guy, this makes no sense. Finally, it says "And when I catch my breath it's you I breath." This also makes sense with God, but not with just a regular person. In any case, I love this song.

    this is actually michelle's view of the song. Branch: I guess I could never do "Behind the Music," because none of the songs I write are about personal experiences. I mostly write love songs because I think it's the one thing that everyone can relate to. You see it in movies, in novels ... I like to keep my songs open-ended so people can listen to it and say, "Oh, I think it means this. I've been through that." Instead of having it be about, "I dumped my boyfriend. This is what the song is about." Then it's like, "I don't get it. This has never happened to me. I'm not Michelle." "Everywhere" started out as this simple acoustic love song. When you first like somebody, every little thing reminds you of that person. They're everywhere, in every little thing.

    not gonna lie, easily one of my favorite pop songs :) even though the yellow card version is very good, i think Michelle's voice can't really be topped. Anyway, i think it's a guy she sees somewhere and can;t stop thinking about him btu he doesn;t knwo she even exists. in the end, they do somehow get together and it's totally true love. haha maybe a little optimistic, but cute

    This song simply means a girl wanting a guy, but the girl doesn't even know the guy, and the guy hasn't even seen him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
