Story Behind The Song

The song started when I first moved to LA. I was simply observing everything and everyone around me, noticing the little things and the big things - the flashy things, and the important things, like finding a fulfilling role in the world, and finding a great girl. I found out that when I cut through all of it, the only thing left standing (to want) was the girl.

Song Description

The song is about observing everything and everyone, noticing the little things and the big things - the flashy things, and the important things, like finding a fulfilling role in the world, and finding a great girl.

Lyrics

verse 1
I look at all the people walking down the street and everybody's looking round with the same face
They don't have much to say. They're gonna be there anyway It's la la la la la all day long
Shiny lights shopping malls, I'm bouncin' off the walls. My soul worn straight through my shoe lace
I have very little cause and I very rarely pause. I got everything but one thing is all wrong

chorus
I got every little thing, every little thing, every single thing, but you
I got every little thing, every little thing, but that don't mean a thing

verse 2
Even though I've been known to be quick on my toes, you're always just a little bit out of reach
I've been messin', second guessing', stressing' bout the lesson. The lesson you don't know that you tend to teach
Ignore ya I could try but I die when you walk by. It switches on my system of sadness
Hopped up but I'm down, I'm twitching like a clown. I'm itching' just to sift through the freak show madness

chorus
I got every little thing, every little thing, every single thing, but you
I got every little thing, every little thing, but that don't mean a thing
I got every little thing, every little thing, it's just a whole lot of nothing new
I got every little thing in this world, but I want you

(instrumental)

la la la's

bridge

And you are everything caught up in a nothing world
help me get over this
help me get over this

verse 3
Jumpin' on the bandwagon, always late, I'm busy slackin'
Never had a role model, drinking straight from the bottle
Everything's always the same. Teacher doesn't know my name
Killing me slow now and then, stuck in the middle I got...

chorus
I got every little thing, every little thing, every single thing, but you
I got every little thing, every little thing, that ain't a thing to me
I got every little thing, every little thing, every single little thing, it's just a whole lotta nothing new
I got every little thing in this world, but I want you

la la la's
