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 light
To my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything
[Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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?
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?
[Chorus 2]
Because you're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
Everything, everything
[Chorus 1]
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?
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?
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?
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this

“That’s a super-special song for me. It seems to really connect with other people, too. It’s one of those songs that every time I played it, a new part came to it. That’s why it’s so long and kind of mysterious. It’s a bunch of different bits and pieces, but it has power because it kind of sums up everything I’m about lyrically and in terms of my relationships and Lifehouse overall. So I think it’s a perfect way to end the record.”
