Everything Goes Lyrics
You live your life
You live like an Island
Satisfied
You live for the moment
Here you come
You make it look easy
I bet you smile in your sleep
Are you smiling at me?
You live your life
You live like an island
Surrounded by, water and silence
There you go
You make it look easy
I bet you laugh at yourself
Are you laughing at me?
‘Cause sometimes anything goes
When you’re looking at me
And sometimes everything goes
When you’re looking at me
So come on, come on, everything goes
(When you’re looking at me)
Come on, come on, everything goes
(Sometimes when you’re smiling at me)
Come on, come on, everything goes
Come on
You live your life
You live like an island
What is it like?
I wish I could hold it
There you go
Making it look easy
I bet you like how it feels
But do you feel me?
So come on, come on, anything goes
Come on, come on, everything goes
Come on, come on, everything goes
‘Cause sometimes anything goes
When you’re looking at me
And sometimes everything goes
You live like an Island
Satisfied
You live for the moment
Here you come
You make it look easy
I bet you smile in your sleep
Are you smiling at me?
You live like an island
Surrounded by, water and silence
There you go
You make it look easy
I bet you laugh at yourself
Are you laughing at me?
When you’re looking at me
And sometimes everything goes
When you’re looking at me
(When you’re looking at me)
Come on, come on, everything goes
(Sometimes when you’re smiling at me)
Come on, come on, everything goes
You live like an island
What is it like?
I wish I could hold it
There you go
Making it look easy
I bet you like how it feels
But do you feel me?
Come on, come on, everything goes
Come on, come on, everything goes
When you’re looking at me
And sometimes everything goes

im surprised no one has commented on this song; its one of her best. well, what i think this song means is the feeling of having someone who u give your all to but they seem to run from the other, trying to hide. and...
‘Cause sometimes anything goes When you’re looking at me And sometimes everything goes When you’re looking at me
when they look at each other, sometimes all is good, then sometimes all is lost. it' a very good song indeed ;)
I'll comment on it. It's her best song in my opinion. Gorgeous, i think beautiful beaches and bittersweet moments. I feel that it's about a friend, someone known, very special, perfect to her eyes, but her affection is not returned, though she can sense it in his eyes that he feels something too. But it only happens in moments, quickly there only to be gone just as quickly for something, or someone else. A great deal of longing and desire for finality.
Probably my favourite song, but I have a different take on the meaning. For me it's quite clearly about insecurity. Starting off with being on your own and getting used to that, then someone else coming into your life and the changes that brings. The play on words in 'anything goes/everything goes' is very subtle but so powerful. Sometimes someone looking at you when you're in love makes you feel like you can do anything, but the same person also has the ability to shatter your confidence. Anything = good, everything = loss/bad.
A friend recommended this song to me, saying it reminded her of my situation with a friend of hers. I had strong feelings for this guy and while he liked me romantically for for some time, this ended somewhere along the way. I agree with AlaileScribe, but I can also see TheChumpster's view on "insecurity."
