about

You’re Everything to Me 3:38
A touching and simple ballad for the stolen moments between lovers in the gig economy.
Comparison - late Leonard Cohen, Sun Kil Moon

lyrics

I’m tired from working three jobs
You’re tired from working three times as hard
I’ll be home just after three
Some jerks hung out late at the bar

I know your friends ask after me
When you all go out on friday nights
I’m tired of being absentee
Believe me I am, belive me

But you’ll be asleep when I come home from work tonight
And I’ll be asleep when you leave for work
A kiss on the cheek will get me through
Maybe we’ll have dinner this week
At the very least we’ll go on our walks on sunday to the bakery
You’re everything to me

I know I’m hard to live with
I’m so grateful that you’re with me
You’ve got this kind of courage
It makes everyone around you stronger

I live my life in tribute
To whatever good you see in me
When things have gone wrong you stay so calm
And say don’t worry baby

But you’ll be asleep when I get home from work tonight
And I’ll be asleep when you leave for work
A kiss on the cheek will get me through
Maybe you’ll have dinner this week
At the very least we’ll go on our walks on sundays to the bakery
You’re everything to me

I don’t know if words can explain
When my heart beats is sounds just like your name
