I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be
I say all the right things at exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you, and I don't know why"
I am sure most of us had these kind of feelings at least once. "Everything You Want" is arguably Vertical Horizon's best-known single. It peaked at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Chart and U.S. Billboard Adult Top 40 Tracks Chart in the Summer of 2000.
Lead vocalist Matt Scannell said in a 2010 interview:
""...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."
Actually I had a very similar experience with my last girlfriend, the difference is, that after a long hard year she started to accept me... Don't ask me why... :)
