Michelle Branch - All You Wanted Lyrics Meaning

This song is about a lonely teenager girl who has no boyfriend or sweetheart.It's just her and her two friends. She hangs out with them, her friends have no guys either.

She ''got swepted away'' because these guys stare at her but pass her by

Despite her fun with her two friends shes still lonely because she dosen't have a guy to go out with which means:''So lonely inside''

She sees these boys and girls togther huging and kissing holding hands which means ''So busy out there''

She dosen't have a guy:

''And all you wanted
Was somebody who cares''

This part is about her two friends all she has is them shes hangs out with:

So hurry hold me
Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on

Her and her friends are obviously seniors which means they will all graduate:

''Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone''

Her two friends are all she has

''If you need me you know I'll be there''

I could be wrong but even if this isn't the correct meaning. I think this interpation will still work.

Michelle Branch wrote this when she was a teenager.
