I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all I know is everything's going to be alright

[Chorus]
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights

I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all I know is everything's going to be alright

[Chorus]

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try try to divide something so real
So til the end of time I'm telling you there is no one

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

    My Interpretation:I agree that this song is about unconditional love. It's about having this crazy feeling about someone that can't be compared to any other. It's a special sort of love.

    Makes you feel giddy to have it and its about cherishing and feeling grateful for having it. A one-of-a-kind thing :D

    General Comment:This song is clearly about a lesbian relationship.

    "People keep talking"
    - is referring to the lesbian rumors that have surrounded her since her 2nd album in 2003.

    "I know people will try, try to divide, Something so real"
    but "Everything's gonna be all right"
    - refers to how her love is stronger than all the people that are disapproving, especially toward celebrities, of gay relationships.

    The sadness in her voice and the screaming is because she has to hide her love and lie about who she really is... because people keep talking... and try to get in the way of her lifestyle...

    I wish she would just come out... she would be so much happier.

    General Comment:this song to me is so important.
    it will go far in the future.

    i believe its about being okay with someone, being perfectly and irrevocably in love.
    her love in this, goes beyond a relationship.
    it's about someone always being there, through thick or thin.

    he's "it" for her, all she's ever searched for.

    and she loves him, unconditionally.

    General Comment:This song is a declaration of love---whether for a lover, family member, or friend is immaterial. It's a testament for someone she loves dearly that the world will change but will not change them and as a result, "everything is going to be all right." She assures that they will not only weather the storms "through the days and nights," but that things will, "only get better," because they have something real and tangible in their unconditional love for each other. Life is always a little kinder when you know that someone is waiting at home for you with a love that you can return to when life gets harsh. This song is nothing short of beautiful. Furthermore, the ache and strength with which she sings adds much depth to the words.

    General Comment:Alright people, obviously most of you are not aware that it is songMEANINGS dot net. Ahem... MEANINGS! Not structure, or songfeelings. I will therefore provide my point of view of what this song really... umm... MEANS.

    For starters the song begins with the line "I just want you close", meaning they are not physically together. (Probably a long-distance relationship or something)
    People keep talking about how long distance relationships are pointless and stupid but Alicia doesn't give a crap. She just wants to be with him no matter what, no matter the distance, no matter what people say, no matter where her significant other is.

    *Sigh*

    The chorus just restates what she said in the verse. No one Can get in the way of what I feel for you... nothing can keep them apart, not even distance. And she is damn sure about it!

    "When the rain is pouring down
    And my heart is hurting
    You will always be around"
    --> Someone can ALWAYS be around someone else under two circumstances: 1) That someone is a ghost or a spirit or 2) that someone is a thought...
    I wanna go with number 2, I don't know about you guys. THERE YOU GO! She is thinking about her man and the thought alone will make her feel better even though her heart is hurt. Why is her heart hurt? Loneliness maybe?

    "People keep talking
    They can say what they like
    But all I know is
    Everything's going to be alright"
    ---> People are saying: "Alicia, how the hell can you be in a long distance relationship? That is crazy! Your man is probably cheating on you!" Alicia goes: "You can say whatever the f... you want, I just know everything is gonna be alright cause I trust my boyfriend! I'm not worried at all!"

    "I know some people search the world
    To find something like what we have"
    ---> And yes, that is true. How many people search the world and try being in a long distance relationship but most of them end up badly and someone's heart gets broken. But Alicia's relationship is working just fine and both Alicia and her man trust each other...
    She says "Everything's gonna be alright" because the only thing inbetween them is the distance, and ONE DAY they will be able to be physically together. That doesn't mean they can't be TOGETHER though. Love is not about being physically together; it's about hearing two hearts beat as one no matter where.

    "So 'til the end of time
    I'm telling you there ain't no one "
    ---> It's not everyday you get to find someone you can be in that type of relationship. But when you do, you actually appreciate that someone and it's more real than ever. And if there is love and care between the two, everything is possible. Even overcoming rumors and gossip and lies that surrounding people may bug you with.

    Trust me....
