Vertical Horizon-Everything You Want (Lyrics)

[blacksunwhirlpool]

relationships are for the weak if you love yourself enough you don't need them

[NoLifeTehRs]

@blacksunwhirlpool Lmao no..

[SKYRIM05]

ive been laughed at so many times when i comes to relationships i accepted i will never get a gf and i just give up

[NoLifeTehRs]

@SKYRIM05 with that attitude what do you expect

[PGJR1000]

@NoLifeTehRs i never had this sadness before all the girls laughed at me

[NoLifeTehRs]

@PGJR1000 learn to love yourself and get over rejection; living life sad is a waste of time and energy

[zombieslayer00z]

such a great fucking song!!!!!!!

[SparkzFly12]

Dustin:

Youre everything I want,

Youre everything I need,

Youre everything inside of me that I wish I could be

You say all the right things at exactly the right times

And you mean the world to me and I know why:)

[MRomanos]

I can totally understand this song from a girls perspective. Nice guy, very sweet, but for some reason you don't feel a thing for him. :\

[psychocrazy2024]

@21anicoolkaza21 i had a girlfriend..she left me feb 13..before valentines day for no reason..DAMN!..bro,wish you both your girlfriend gudluck..

[deacondawg1]

I hear something much more spiritual.

What IF God was one of us?.....

[TheJbdarkwolf]

I'm always thought of as the big brother not the bf type and I hate it

[Swingarwolf1]

@TheJbdarkwolf oh god I get that a lot too... I always end up as a girl's really super great friend... and I will actually do anything for them, and beat the shit outta someone if I have to but I'm never perceived as the boyfriend type

[OMGsquirel26]

i always torture myself with this song when im sad. haha idk why !

[Euphoria2118]

Perfect 4 me!

~Euphoria.

[kairandor]

Friendzone -The Song.

[MegaWubby]

I've always been the friendly type of guy, I even won homecoming king this year. I really like this girl, she is a close friend and I don't know how to tell her. I've been thinking about this for weeks. I want to ask her to prom so i might do that. I've never had a girlfriend or even had a kiss (weird for a homecoming king right?) I think i might ask her tomorrow. I listen to this song all the time and i think it really is my time to tell her. Hopefully some things change with me :)

[MusicWhore16]

@MegaWubby I hope she say's yes to going to homecoming with you! Good luck :)

[MegaWubby]

@MusicWhore16 Thanks, she actually did say yes :) im taking the girl of my dreams to prom.

[rackopschief]

Typical woman always going for the asshole.

[freestyldiver]

friendzoned alone song XD

[xxCaddi95xx]

Haha...12 year olds listening to Vertical Horizon...makes me feel old saying that....and I'm only 16...enjoy new generation :)

[Chickyrock54]

potty mouths *tisk tisk.

[shelby11fonz]

Story of my life :(

[ex0ticc]

that's crazy...I can totally relate to this song. Me being the conflicted girl...my ex was what seemed to be perfect for me but I felt nothing. Then of course we broke up and then I found my soul mate about a year and a half later. Follow your heart, people!

[cookieman641]

i am everything inside of ur pussy

[beautty94]

@cookieman641 now dat, is disgusting!

[All4KingdomHearts]

@cookieman641 Come on, you really didn't need to say that.

[cookieman641]

@All4KingdomHearts but its funny and u didn't even make the video so what i put isn't ur business and I'm twelve so i have a fucking mouth

[All4KingdomHearts]

@cookieman641 Jeez, I'm twelve too and I happen to know how to type, comments on youtube just happen to have a reply button, you must expect someone to say something like that when you write that sort of comment. Sorry, but you didn't have to snap at me.

[RebelTetnai]

Poor guy is stuck in the "Friend Zone".

[ladylove19870]

Why is their so much cursing on these comments grow up or shut up

[cookieman641]

@ladylove19870 fuck fuck fuck shit dick bitck and cunt

[OMGsquirel26]

[ladylove19870]

@cookieman641 lmao ok

[ElTronW]

why did google have too stuff things up with ads in videos

[ChrisRKO32]

@ElTronW Download Adblocker & stop whining.

[alexismbonham]

This is how feel towards my bf sometimes. Like he is so right for me but sometimes I just feel eh. Idk if it's just me being confused or what.

[fallenhard709]

@alexismbonham

I know what you mean. My bf is so good to me and yet I always doubt our relationship in the back of my mind. Very confusing. :/

[kkhorsegirl124]

i really loved this one guy and he was perfect in my eyes.he liked evry girl in the grade tho, most days he wudnt talk 2 me but b all over this one girl.we broke up and he is dating her and he tells her that he never loved me that he liked her while he was with me.i wanted to scream BECUZ U USED TO LOVE ME she's everything to him but i still love him.i wish you could see I'm the one tht WOULD OF been there for u when you fell,when she broke ur heart,but now its over and u left me broken hearted.

[BlackSuitSpideyy]

"...girl into *me* except..."

[BlackSuitSpideyy]

Goddamnit. Every girl is into except the one I want. She doesn't answer my texts and only talks to me in person. Idk what to do... she stares at me and looks for me when she knows i'm in the area yet she's so distant. Someone help me...

[Sandra3594]

I love this song so much

[JokeCobCrazyCooper]

love this song

[survivorpunk]

If I sang this to me, I would seriously consider kissing him once he finished. This i one of my favorite songs ever! <3

[survivorpunk]

@survivorpunk OOPS! I meant to say if *a guy sang this to me! My bad! XD

[dasjagermonster]

Story of my life..... goddamn -_-

[poconutty1]

[SoapyKnight44]

This song = my life </3

[13facesofinsanity]

I am a lesbian and my best friend is a guy. everyone wants us to date but I don't feel that way about him. Everyting I hear this song I think of our friendship.

[All4KingdomHearts]

@13facesofinsanity That sucks, just ignore those other people (like you already are, I'm sure) and follow your heart.

[All4KingdomHearts]

@13facesofinsanity Oh, and you have an awesome username :)

[mbsyggd]

I always thought of this song as the ultimate friend zone theme.

[katg6]

:)

[alucardbca]

[TheCupcake1219]

i've been listening to this song since i was like 4...:)

[wild4witwer]

Amazing song

[Jack90714]

Love this song <3

[Elymar2112]

Ha.. this happened to me today. It's a guy that is awesome to me, and love me the way I am. But, I can't understand why I can't feel love for him, it makes me sad :(

[RENOGUY777]

@Elymar2112 I want to call you a bitch. But if you cant help it, you cant. Im so tired of being full of hate, fuck PTSD, and fuck Afghanistan.

[Elymar2112]

@RENOGUY777 Yeah... right. Haha freak

[RENOGUY777]

@Elymar2112 Yea... right. Fuck you cunt.

[Elymar2112]

@RENOGUY777 Oww, you're adorable, you think you're insulting me. How cute is that? xoxo :)

[RENOGUY777]

@Elymar2112 lol. Love you too. xoxoxoxox

[haleypotter417]

[LoopyHD]

Jeydon Wale(:

[ihatekate08]

@IIlIQuANTuMllIl 1. This song is about a girl, I went to school with Matt Sconnell. 2. Their classified aas altternative rock. 3. Assuming they WERE a christian rock band, that doesnt mean EVERY song the write is about god, refer to 1. Fuckin tool I swear.

[TheAlyssarose93]

story of my life</3

[patcallahan2002aLIVE]

well this song has many dif meaning...4 me it is about a girl never really have been truly in love till i meet her ...an this song fit her to a tee

[VampireKnight1999]

<3 Awesome!



[drop3378]

i love this song.... its awsome.. the best song ever.... and i dont know why.

[IIlIQuANTuMllIl]

Guys, the song is about God and how someone needs God but won't/ doesn't have a relationship with God. Vertical Horizon is a Christian band.

[hXcmegg]

<3

[MusicWhore16]

I think its about a girl conflicted. Here is this guy. The perfect guy. He's Sweet, funny, likeable, caring, and just everything. Then yet she doesn't feel much for him. She doesn't understand why she keep's pushing him away, why she's still looking for something more, when all she SHOULD need is him. Love is funny that way. Our brains will tell us one thing, but are hearts tell us something totally different. And she just didn't feel it. And she's sorry.

[21anicoolkaza21]

@MusicWhore16 You are correct. It's exactly what this song is about. Sometimes you just cant do anything, there's a second side. You put 1000% of you're self out there and you can't get it back. The second side cant efford that, It can't deliver the package. You just have to wait, for the right person, for you. Meant to be, you know. This is how's Love goes. Meant. To. Be. P.S. English is not my first language.

[MusicWhore16]

@21anicoolkaza21 :) thanks. Vertical Horizon summed up what all of us have felt in this one song of there's. I'll admit, I was that girl. A boy was sweet, told me he loved me, cared for me, I knew him since a baby. On paper he was perfect. In my heart... he wasn't the one, and It crushed his heart.

[21anicoolkaza21]

@MusicWhore16 Thats my Love-Life story.

Giving all, but you're not welcome.

I have a girlfriend right now, she's amazing, and I'm being so understandable and care for her feelings. Thats why I'm taking things slow with her, because she means alot to me more than I should probally say,.

[HeartofAiur]

The ballad of the Forever-Alone White Knight

[mochamegan123]

<3

[Makeyzey]

i...hate...ads...

[gurtanator]

In a broader look.. the lyrics in the song talk about 2 guys and a girl. The girl keeps going after the wrong guys, mainly one certain guy, guy #1(hence going after mr. perfect or an idiot). Then guy #2 is chasing after the girl, but the girl is so caught up in guy #1 she doesn't realize guy #2. Guy #2 has everything inside of him(his heart, soul etc.) that the girl needs and wants, but in the end.. everything you want is not everything you need, saying you don't need sex(talking about men).

[MusicWhore16]

@gurtanator Nah... I really don't think this songs is about two guys and the one girl. I just think the first half is just the girls point of view (in third person) the second half when he uses I. He's just talking about himself, asking himself why she won't she love me back.

[gurtanator]

@MusicWhore16 Well my view is what I said.. and your view is what you said

[MusicWhore16]

@gurtanator whoa... yeah.... that's cool. I just thought I'll give a little insight on what I thought. No harm done. Music is meant to be looked at in all different angels.

[gurtanator]

@MusicWhore16 Yeah np. :)

[melsey10835]

by the way this is mark woods

[melsey10835]

Kelsee Gillispie this i smy song to you, i have been in love with you since 6th grade.... i always will ,... i wish i could just tell you how i feel

[melsey10835]

@melsey10835

by the way this is mark woods

[moriona2pj]

He means nothing to her, because she is not physically attracted to him. No sparkles, no chemistry. And it means an important part of the 'puzzle' is missing.

I love this song since year 2000, got it recorded on a casette :-)

[SarahAshton122288]

CrapStickPro is definitely right. I completely agree with him. I could sit here and judge his improper spelling but he has the right idea. Too many people get on here just to bash eachother and beat eachother down when no one really cares anyway. It's youtube! We're entitled to our own opinion! This is a great song by the way and I felt called to listen to it which is why I did so! It relates to everything I'm going through in my life currently!

[SarahAshton122288]

@SarahAshton122288 Except opposite. I feel like I mean nothing to him, and I don't know why.

[101verysweet]

I want to say to all the men who love women that are you friends and dont feel the same way about you.. . One day you will walk away unable to stand the pain that she does not feel the same way. When you end the friendship and you both leave. Realize you are not the only one that walks away wounded.

[Thangprecious]

I love dis song!!

[ColorfulHyena]

I could imagine Harold Camping singing this to people who wouldn't listen to his prophecies.

[Smile9980]

I heard this on a movie before.. I forget what the movie is called. ._.

[xxAmina4everxx]

>.< Can People Just Enjoy The Song Without Creating Debates Over What This Song Could Possibly Be About? So Annoying...Just Listen To The Song.

[Hottiegur567]

Ah it's stuck in my head now. Mind as well listen to it a 100 more times

[SuperSS427]

I agree holly up here.

[existingclara]

Music is meant to relate to people in all different ways, This song can have plenty of meaning to it because its suppose to so it can relate to everyone in their own times and situations=]

[PrincessBrittneyBabe]

I am everything you want i am everything you need im everything inside of you that you wish you could be. <3

[DeejmeisterOfficial]

they only need 20% and the new album is fully funded

[DeejmeisterOfficial]

All Vertical Horizon fans should show some support and pledge for them via pledgemusic to help promote and release their new 2012 album!

[nickie312]

This song is totally about being stuck in the friend zone.

[bonebreakerjosh]

For those who are interested to know what this song's all about, here it is:

The song's main theme deals with unrequited love, Matt Scannell (lead vocalist):

"...I was in love with this girl, and she was just a broken person. She kept turning to everyone except me for love and acceptance, and I wanted so much to help her. I wanted to be the one to give her everything she wanted, but I couldn't. She just couldn't accept it from me, and it was that pain, that led me to creating the song."

[AntariRoyale]

@bonebreakerjosh - DAMN. Thats just sad and depressing.

[andorvaelis]

@bonebreakerjosh I know exactly how that feels. To be in his shoes in that situation I mean.

[Lynchology101]

@bonebreakerjosh and here's me thinking it was about the cold war! lmao sorry I genuinly couldn't resist! :D

[luvtheoc101]

we meet again 240p

[StepToMeHomeboy]

this song is just amazing.

[jos11wil]

Ok this song is confusing, someone told me to listen to this song and i listened to it, but i ask them who it was pointed to the wouldnt tell me so im realy confused would it be me or the other person and what exacty would it mean

[KatriannaVale]

this is mine and my bfs song <3 love it

[buangnamon]

i don't know why!!!!! Y_Y

[BloodOnThefuckingDF]

Welcome to the friend zone.

[discoskatingchick]

But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why....the ending is the saddest part of this song.

[DanWithoutAplan]

who looked this video up after watching iron jawed angels?

[CatastropheXXI]

But by going off that logic, couldn't one then go into an art gallery and 'interpret' the mona lisa in a different way? or 'the thinker'? I mean I'm not saying i'm disagreeing with songs being an art form or anything, and things can be viewed differently, just not all things. Cause frankly, I personally can see no way to relate this to family. As for religion, well, i'll just let it stand. Don't want having any potential people freaking out at me

[torimarx91]

My fave bit of this song is 'Out of the island, into the highway. Past the places where you might have turned'.

I have no idea why I love that bit but I do.

[salinaye1]

This song is about how someones perfect for you but you just don't love that person back, because you just don't. The feelings not there.

[ChristySaysRawr]

2 people who disliked this video can go die

[AmotoTaboshi]

Heard this on the radio & LOVED IT! xD

[Bgaing]

For me, Im married to an awesome guy. But Im not in love with him :( married young and was confused. No matter how I try, the feelings are still not there.

[charliedontsurf70]

@Bgaing You should probably divorce him then. I'm just saying because what's the point of staying with someone you dont love? In the end its gonna hurt worse the longer you stay with him.

[Taylorsparkleflame]

You're wrong @hollynicolec, this song is about a person who is right for you but you're either to heart broken from the first guy, to let anyone else in, or you're not ready for love

[monkeycuddles23]

Has anyone read the house of night series if you have isn't this song perfect for Zoey

[belpramos17]

Love this song...same situation i have right now...ahh...i felt i want to cry again...

[Derfla1093]

Its sad because this song explains my situation perfectly...

[clocks42292]

@Derfla1093 I feel for you. It explains mine as well. A girl who I have begun to have feelings for does not have the same emotions because her mind and heart got fucked up from her last relationship. How I wish I met her before that fucking bastard...

[gnometastic375]

Im in love with my friend's brother... Ever since the day he kissed me... my head has been spinning. Her or him?!

[wolfgirl1528]

my bf is like this. his brother is in love woth me. hes pulled the twin thing more then once. i love isacc but i hate jake(his twin brother) any suggestions?

[thepradasdevil953]

one of the best songs EVER!

[hollynicolec]

Basically, this song is about a person who is right for you but youre either too stupid or stubborn to realize it.

[TheStickUpKid187]

@hollynicolec i think this implies to all girls.

[bheceo]

@hollynicolec Exactly I can see this artist talking about Jesus honestly

[whetlands]

@bheceo Hmm, you could also interpret it as a christian's frustration. Their beliefs seem so ideal; a loving god, a caring saviour. But despite this, they feel unfulfilled because what they hold on to isn't concrete. Unverifiable. It isn't something you can see, or touch, or even confirm. This interpretation is mostly drawn from the line "but he means nothing to you and you don't know why."

[bheceo]

@whetlands Yeah that part of the song always got to me .. but the rest of it I can relate too and I am a Christian I believe in Jesus that he came and died for me tho Ill never fully understand how any human could be so humble and loving

[existingclara]

@hollynicolec I like what you said.. Because that was me! haha when i was naive and young

[dierks33]

@hollynicolec or you wanting to be a different person, the person you have inside of you that doesn't mess up or make mistakes, ) not saying your wrong i think there's different ways to interpret songs, and i agree with you

[MoonStarWolfe]

@hollynicolec No it mean there's someone there, whose perfect and sweet and good for you but you just don't feel it, you just don't have the connection even if you want to, sometimes it just doesn't click.

[rafaelg45]

This is a song about a person who bought groceries and does not know why he bought them. 

[IdiotWithTheBlueEyes]

I LOVE THIS SONG. :')

[CrapStickPro]

Look, this is a song, therefore its a form of art.

art can be interpretted different ways at different times of life.

I first intrpreted this to a girl I was seeing.

I then changed that to a religious meaning.

Now I can relate it to family.

Post your opinion but stop slamming everyone elses. It's their connection.

[NiceCatsVEVO]

@CrapStickPro I agree with you.

[SenshiSunPower]

@CrapStickPro I got the family meaning. I don't really think it works as a couple's song.

[KorumEmrys]

@CrapStickPro WELL SAID!!! =) Thumbs Up! =)

[mochamegan123]

@CrapStickPro I totally agree with you its so super annoying that people don't respect others and I'm glad someone finally said something about it.

[penguinpenelton]

Does anyone know who this song is really about? It's about God. Listen to it. . .

[MooHead001]

thank you boyce avenue! this song is so perfect.

[bellalover200]

fits very well as a love triangle song

[USxMarine1024]

This song is like the soundtrack to my life and fits me well.....i know im not alone on this : /

[nessababy82289]

.....this is definitely not about god.

lol

[LovesWolfFantasy]

God isnt real plus why are we talking about him anyways it can stir up a agrument on youtube that wouldnt be good... love the song and video bye bye

[KammieLovesYou]

To all the people who think this song is about someone you're dating.

It's about God and how someone doesn't know who he is.

And in the last verse when he replaces "He" with "I", it's like God is talking for him.

GET IT RIGHT!

[xDarkxReflectionx]

@KammieLovesYou I believe songs (and pretty much everything else for that matter) are what you make them. I don't know what the band was actually talking about when they wrote it, but I think people can interpret it the way they want to. If for someone it's about someone they're dating, that's fine. If for you it's about God, that's just as fine. Everyone is allowed their point of view.

[ShexiiiLExi]

Aaron. M. Martinez. <3 

[LemonadeH]

I'm sorry Zach... I cried tonight when I heard this. I am just too broken and hide too much to ever be good enough for you. I am glad you moved on. It still hurts for some reason. I am a broken, socially awkward, confused dork trying to figure out who I am.

[g0d0fD3structi0n666]

@narutosgirl20 same! I think the movie was iron jawed angels? Anyway........ yeah I wish I could say this to a girl I like..... we have beend friends for a couple years but....

[applemaster45]

dang i wish i had guy to compare this to but it reminds me that i'm guy friend less :'(

[hinderfan8forlife]

This makes me think of a guy who used to be my best friend. I had the biggest crush on him and we were so great together but he liked EVERY other girl. I never meant anything to him. Now I have a bf, he has a gf, and we aren't friends anymore. He bullies my bf, and is about to get kicked in the balls for it.

[stockpickeraem]

This song reminds me alot of me and wife as of lately being separated after 5 yrs. I decided to remain single for the last 9 months for I didn't want to deal with anymore drama from what my marriage left me with her. To get into another relationship is not what this separation was for. But she moved into another relationship a few months ago makes me ask alot of questions. Thats when this song comes to mind. Thinking bout it I know its going to more that a yr for us to get together.

[ShexiiiLExi]

:/ i have a bf, and this song makes me think of my best friend aaron. :o

[Rwonton2223]

but i mean nothing to you and i dont know why..

[TJlockjaw]

I love this song brings back the good old times haha :) can never get tired of this song
