Everything Was You

I’d leave everything

Run to meet you

Where you waited for me

Swaying the trees

Everything, everything, everything, was you 

 

Walk in the yard

Turn the cheek

There you were

Its easy to see

Everything, everything, everything, was you 

 

Through the years, did you,

Hold back the tears

As I walked away

Cause I could not hear

To say

Everything, everything, everything, was you 

 

When you turn your back on your best friend

Everything is a war

You’re carrying everything you try to ignore

Looking back you kept on calling

On what you knew

I only had to tune into you

Cause everything was you.
