All You Want Lyrics

It took me 13 years to understand what the song was about.

[b]First verse[/b] : it tells the story of an ordinary, heterosexual couple. The narrator is a girl and she wakes up in an empty bed. She wishes her boyfriend came back. The chorus ("all you want is right here in this room") refers to her.

[b]Second verse[/b] : the narrator reveals that they have been together for 3 years, but the boy had a one-night stand. She is pregnant ("if those seeds had not been sown") and still wishes her boyfriend came back.

[b]Last verse[/b] : the narrator is convinced that her boyfriend will not come back, because he has got another girlfriend ("Send my regards to her"). She will probably raise her child alone. The last chorus ("all you want is right there in that room") refers to the boy's new girlfriend.
