This Is Everything Lyrics

Cover art for This Is Everything lyrics by Tegan and Sara

Obviously this is about someone she really loves. I think its more like she was just giving everything to make it work, down to even herself, the love she had for herself and it was replaced by the love she had for that other person. And that person, just cant return all of that, doesnt wanna break up and cut her off completely, the person wants to stay friends. Probably the most difficult thing to do when your inlove. And probably the wrongest thing and unconsiderate thing a person can ask you.

'' Im going to hold you anyway and ill do it without shaking yes ill love you always and ill do it without aching''

If your shaking it means the action means alot to you, bad or good, but in this case its good. Virgins shake when they touch for the first time, you shake under the hand of someone you love. So shes going to try to not make it show that that one tiny physical contact makes her shake and feel infinite. Shes going to still love the person, but she'll pretend shes not aching for more.

''This is the last honest look I'll ever give''

Because the person is asking her to not be honest, to not show what she really feels. So its the last time shes going to open, and then she'll close up. And pretend to stop shaking and stop aching.

I dont know. Thats how i see it, but maybe thats only because im in a same situation right now. Amazing song, really.
