Everything Lyrics
find me here
and speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
you are the light
that's leading me
to the place
where I find peace again
you are the strength
that keeps me walking
you are the hope
that keeps me trusting
you are the life
to my soul
you are my purpose
you're everything
and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this yeah
you calm the storms
and you give me rest
you hold me in your hands
you won't let me fall
you still my heart
and you take my breath away
would you take me in
take me deeper now
and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this
and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you

i think that this song, although a lot less popular than "hanging by a moment," is much better. although the beat is slower, and the lyrics harder to follow, this is a great song. my favorite line is, by far,
"how can i stand here with you, and not be moved by you?"
i heard it first on "Smallville" and i have been trying to find it for a while now. i just downlaoded it and you have got to hear it. the emotion that they put into the song is the majority of the meaning. you know that whoever he is singing to, is the person that he cares about most in the world
Totally agree. This song is almost epic compared with "hanging by a moment".

Personally, I don't think this song has a religious meaning...but I do must agree with FlyGir195 saying that whoever is this song dedicated...eh/she must be really proud and feel lucky (I guess it's a "she")

well i hate to start an insane thread about religion like they do on creed sites, but this song is all about his relationship with God. "how can i stand here with you and not be moved by you" is asking how anyone can not be affected by God's awesomeness, not a girls, sorry. If you listen again you'll see what i'm talking about and it makes the song even better. it really is a great song about jason's faith and how it helps him through everything because he is his everything!
I really don't think that this song is about God. Its about a girl... You can't physically stand beside God, what he describes is something much more than a connection between man and God. its too beautiful to be about religion. It represents the most deepest, profound love between man and woman,,

"How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you" Ive experienced this feeling, when u simpy stand beside your boyfriend* and be so in love with him and so in awe of him and how he makes you feel that it moves you completely....

I know Lifehouse are a christian band but this does not mean all their songs are about God.
Much more than a relationship between a man and God? There's nothing more than a relationship between a man and God....nothing bigger or better. A man's relationship with a woman or a woman's with a man is nothing compared to their relationship with God.

Well, I guess if you're not religious, nor believe in God, like me, then what you just said, Chassant Ame, would make no sense. How is it even possible to have a relationship with God, even if you do believe in him? I'm sorry, but I guess it takes a religious person to know a religious person (takes one to know one.) I'm with HippyHippyShake on this one.

What if he worded it so those who are religious can appreciate that, but those who aren't don't get offended. What my opinion is on the matter doesn't matter, what matters is we can all find the meaning we want in this breathtaking song.

Im sorry to say but everyone who thinks this song is not about god you are stupid. But if you look at the lyrics and take them in its defiantly about God. I always say I dont have a religion I have a relationship with Jesus Christ and this song is just showing how much God means to him and how much he needs him. Plain and Simple O and this song is awesome

I agree with the poster of this comment. This song is definitely about God. Nothing can compare with a person's relationship to God, especially not a relationship between man and woman. And I respect those people who's decision to not believe in God but just because you don't believe in him doesn't mean this song can't be about him and a guys relationship. Another thing, if you look this song up on youtube or anything else really you will see dozens of christian reenactments of a drama about the sins pulling you away from Jesus and how you come...

seeing as how this is a christian writer im pretty sure he knows that God is all he needs not a girl. although it can be sung for a girl/guy, jason himself probably wrote it towards God but as a good writer he knows to write it in a way to connect on several different levels with several different people. Good song in whatever context you put it in. like what blackrose said.

I'm not very religious, But I'm not idiot, whether you believe in God or Not, you can't even dare to say this song isn't about Him. Specially considering The band is christian. I love how it can be a romantic song, the most beautiful feeling (according to the song), but let's face it, simple boy and girl love doesn't make you feel This great. And they have a bunch of other love love songs, to choose, and they can't compare to Everything, so, even tho I'm not religious, I know what this song is about!!!!! Stop saying nonsence c...

If you go to a youtube page with the slightest hint of religion in it there is a war waged. wats worse is the Christians fight back with just as profound language and unnecessary comments too! thankyou all for ur amazing contributions to this song's meaning. May i direct whoever reads this to the following site because i can't get through it without crying. amazingly done and so powerful.

thanks everybody again....
thanks everybody again. I love this song and I'm so glad you do too :)
This song can also be about loving someone. When you're in love, that person moves you in many ways. No Most love songs that don't specified a female/male subject subject can be interpret as a song for god.

As Christians, God is our strength, hope, life, and purpose.

This song is definitely written in a way that it can be interpreted differently if you don't believe in God. I see the romantic aspect, but regardless of your faith (or lack of), it's still about God.

This song is about his relationship with God, but our relationships with others are supposed to be based on our relationship with God, so in a way, it is about both God and other people he knows

I think what makes this song so effective is that, although it is very clearly talking primarily about God, and the 'relationship' of faith in Christ, it draws upon elements of human relationships, and the emotional significance of feeling close to a person, to illustrate what it means to have intimacy with the Divine through Jesus Christ. In that sense, the 'God' aspect of the song is sort of 'take it or leave it', since the elements of experience from human relationships will still resonate with people of other faiths or none.

Just watch the Everything skit on youtube, and there is no doubt that this is a Christian song. The skit makes me cry every time I see it and the song is incredible.

It hurts to read these comments and see the people that argue that it's not possible for Love to feel like this between two people. This song is most likely written about God, yes. However, the same words someone above used against Love between two people can be used toward it:

I am in a relationship that feels exactly like this. Without each-other, we would very well not be here on earth today. We are the strength, hope, life.. we are everything for each-other. This is the Love others talk about with their relationship with God, except in our case it's directed to another human. We have each been saved, literally, by the other. I know a good friend who is in Love with her significant other, and God. Neither is more important in her life than the other.
I cannot believe there are so many comments arguing about the meaning of the song, when you are all correct. It's about Love, there is absolutely no doubt about it. Love, True Love, whether it be toward another human being or God himself... it feels the same. It is the same emotion.
Someone posted a comment about not being able to physically stand next to God, but what we must all see is that God's relationship with each one of us is actually the most intimate we will have in our lifetime even though we cannot see Him. It is more intimate than that with a parent or a spouse. He knows us more than we know ourselves. This song resonates in a very deep place with me, because I have recently realized, coming out of a ten year hardship, that during my most painful times, God was working in the background...

This song resonates in a very deep place with me, because I have recently realized, coming out of a ten year hardship, that during my most painful times, God was working in the background in my life, preparing me to wake up several years later. Even when I felt most abandoned, and did everything possible to sabotage my life, He brought me to the place I am today. I knnow Him now like I never could have before, and I am in awe at how much love He has for me. Although the connection with the one who is to be our life partner should be stronger than any other human connection and fulfill us at an extremely deep place in our soul, I cannot deny the greatness of the love God has for me in the care He showed toward me and the process He began inside of me even when I was in extreme pain. There is no greater or more intimate love than the love He has for each one of us.
Hm...I have never thought of this song as being about God. I'm still not convinced it is. I think it was written to be about anyone who is most important to YOU.

On a side note, the relationship one has with God may not be their most important relationship. It's ignorant to assume that just because YOU have an amazing relationship with God, that other people do too. Some people, like me, don't even believe in God! :-O So how can my most important relationship be with someone I'm not even sure exists? Seems to me like the most...

Seems to me like the most important relationship in your life should be the one you have with your husband/wife. Or, you know, your children. Or both. Besides, isn't that how God would want it? IF there is a God?
@princessaurora Except Jason Wade (the writer and singer of this song) himself said he wrote this song for a girl. He wrote it for his wife when they were dating. He used it to propose to her. Any real fan of Lifehouse knows this...

This song is about God, there is no arguement, he has said in many interviews that "Lifehouse" is a "Christian" band, he wrote this song about God and what God does in him and to him. All of you that have this song as a song between you and your partner, that's great, but just know that it was God that put you two together and that without him, you two would have never met.
"Steadlydrowning" I know how you're feeling and although you may not believe me, I really do, just hang in there and things will be okay, I'll be praying for you.
Yes, I suppose the song does have a lot of vague Biblical references.
But, the funny thing about songs for God is that you can change the pronoun "He, Him, His," and change them to "She, Her, Her," and not have to change any lyric of the song..
.. and vice versa.
Maybe this song is about God. But, to me, it's the perfection I can find in the beauty of another human being. It also details the hesitation of falling into another relationship, despite the beauty that person can make you feel. You don't want to fall again, but "How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?"
This song is so powerful. It cannot be intended for a girl, it had to be about God. Only God can give you the peace of mind he is talking about in this song.
clearly you have never really been in love.

this could be about god, but this is exactly how my love makes me feel, he hit the words right on like he was reading my mind when he wrote this song. it is possible, Clearly none of you have been in True Love.

it also could be with god, i agree. but it can work for both.

To me this song isn't about god everyone can have their own interpretation. I love this song though it's a little slow for me. It's me & this guy's song that I love a lot. It just has the best lyrics for a love song... You can think of it as a god song though if you want. I can't I have no religion.
i honestly dont believe this song is about God. like i can see where you might get that but i just dont think hes singing about God.
I don't like songs about God. I like the love and happiness you feel when you are loved by another. And this song says that to me. "you hold me in your hands you won't let me fall you still my heart and you take my breath away would you take me in take me deeper now" This line is saying being in the arms of a loved one. Not an invisible being that you can't touch.

I hate to make anyone mad, but to me, the whole "No Name Face" CD has nothing to do with God. Yes, I understand AND respect that Lifehouse is a Christian Rock group, but to me, their songs have everything to do with relationships (most of them depressing). This whole CD has helped me through an extremely upsetting relationship, and I continue to listen to it today, almost a year later. "Everything" represents my feelings toward my (ex) boyfriend when he couldn't understand how I was feeling. "HOW CAN I STAND HERE WITH YOU, AND NOT BE MOVED BY YOU?" was (to me) me trying to make him see how special he was to me.
I hate it how everyone get's so angry at one another over the meaning of this song. We all have different interpretations don't we? I think people need to accept that.
I personally don't agree that it has to do with religion, but I guess I'm saying that because I'm not a very religious person. Without fully analysing the lyrics, when I listen to this I believe it is a love song. "You're all I want, you're all I need. You're everything." Although that could be addressing God, I see it as more of a guy talking to a girl he is in love with.
It's not a song about loss or God. It's just as the lyrics describe. It's a love that means everything. It's a love that lasted for years upon years, yet every time they see each other, they just fall all over again. And the song is sung with such pure-hearted feeling that you swear it has some deeper meaning to it. It really doesn't. He's singing from his heart. It's really your choice who this is dedicated to, but I feel as if these words will only ever be spoken and sung so purely to a lover. The person he truly loves.
