[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On …
Yeah you!
Yeah you!
I used to wanna be
Living like there’s only me46
But now I spend my time
Thinking ’bout a way to get you off my mind47
(Yeah you!)
I used to be so tough
Never really gave enough48
And then you caught my eye
Giving me the feeling of a lightning strike49
(Yeah you!)
Look at me now, I’m falling50
I can’t even talk, still stuttering51
This ground of mine keeps shaking52
Oh oh oh, now!
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you53
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
Everybody’s tryna be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don’t care54
‘Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
(Yeah you!)
I used to ride around
I didn’t wanna settle down55
But now I wake each day
Looking for a way that I can see your face56
(Yeah you!)
I’ve got your photograph
But baby I need more than that57
I need to know your lips58
Nothing ever mattered to me more than this59
(Yeah you!)
Look at me now, I’m falling
I can’t even talk, still stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking
Oh oh oh, now!
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
Everybody’s tryna be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don’t care
‘Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
(Yeah you!)
Look at me now, I’m falling
I can’t even talk, still stuttering
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah you!)
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
(Yeah you!)
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
(Yeah you!)
Everybody’s trying to be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don’t care
‘Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
(Yeah you!)
‘Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
(Yeah you!)
Yeah you!60
Someone who lives “like there’s only me” is someone who is selfish and inconsiderate. There is no one that has given that person a reason to be selfless, so he or she has a myopic worldview.
Once someone falls in love, however, their perspective on the world is different. The self takes a back seat to their significant other.
When someone is living life casually, he is concerned only about himself.
When someone’s life is shaken up by falling in love, he begins to take on a new personality, one which is less oriented toward the self.
That is, falling in love.
Love makes people nervous.
It’s actually his knees that are shaking from nervousness, not the ground.
Even if he never achieves anything else, he wants to be loved by the one he loves. That is now his primary aim in life.
When someone is truly in love, worldly things like money have almost no meaning.
He was young, independent, and adventurous.
Now all of the enthusiasm he had for traveling and enjoying himself is invested in seeking oneness with his significant other.
In other words, he wants to be with the real person, not just a picture of her.
”Know your lips” means “kiss you.”
He is willing to abandon everything else for the sake of love.
This song is about investing the whole of one’s self into one’s beloved.

Honestly,for me,the song is basically saying he just wants to be a part of the girl’s life,because he loves her so much.He doesn’t care about anything anymore.All he wants is to get to know her better,and to be someone to her.He just wants her to notice him and get to know him.
And maybe,be her boyfriend.
