Everything I Need Lyrics

I’m not looking
For a warm embrace
I’m not looking
For a friendly face
I’ve got
Everything I need
I’m not worried
If you’re coming back
I’m in a hurry
Cause I just found out
I’ve got
Everything I need
I’ve got
Everything I need
So even if you wanted to…

You can’t save me
You can’t fail me
I’m back up on my feet baby
On the way down
Is when I found out
That I got everything I need

I’m not looking
For a hand to hold
I’m not waiting
For someone to show
I’ve got
Everything I need
I never found a wall
I couldn’t climb
I never seen a well
As deep as mine
I’ve got
Everything I need
I’ve got
Everything I need
So even if you wanted to…

You can’t save me
You can’t fail me
I’m back up on my feet baby
On the way down
Is when I found out
I've got
I've got everything I need

It doesn’t matter
If I’m qualified
Or if I ever learn
To blow your mind
I’ve got
Everything I need
I’m not looking
For a place to shine
I woke up
And I’m satisfied
I’ve got
Everything I need
I’ve got
Everything I need
So even if you wanted to…

You can’t save me
You can’t fail me
I’m back up on my feet baby
On the way down
Is when I found out
I got
I got everything I need

I'm back up on my feet baby
I'm back up on my feet baby
I'm back up on my feet baby
I'm back up on my feet baby

I’m not looking

I’ve got
Everything I need

It doesn’t matter
If I’m qualified
Or if I ever learn
To blow your mind
I’ve got
Everything I need

I'm back up on my feet baby
I'm back up on my feet baby
I'm back up on my feet baby

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can do anything. I don't need you, or anybody else.

"I never found a wall I couldn’t climb I never seen a well As deep as mine I’ve got Everything I need"

...this is a song you sing before you start getting lonely.

I think this song is talking about realizing that you don't need what you thought you had to have to survive. You can survive on your own and be OK and just let everything go.
