[Verse 1: Brian]
Walking along the sky
Chasing a glimpse of you
Painting a world with stars I found
Inside your eyes
Up here above the haze
Everything looks so clear
Wondering what it would be like
If you were here

[Pre-Chorus: Nick & Howie]
And time takes time (takes time)
But I can't wait to tell you how I feel

[Chorus: All & Nick]
Oh, oh-oh!
You're the calm when my world is crashing
Oh, oh-oh!
My heart, my blood, my passion
Why? (why?), tell me why? (why?)
You're everything but mine
Oh, oh-oh!
I hold you close when it all goes crazy
Oh, oh-oh!
And through it all, you'll be my lady
Why? (why?), tell me why? (why?)
You're everything, everything but mine

[Verse 2: AJ]
You don't have to be afraid
Of somebody else's touch
Just give me a chance to prove
Just how you should be loved

[Pre-Chorus: Nick & Howie]
And time takes time (takes time)
It's not too late to tell you how I feel

[Chorus: All & AJ]
Oh, oh-oh!
You're the calm when my world is crashing
Oh, oh-oh!
My heart, my blood, my passion
Why? (why?), tell me why? (why?)
You're everything but mine
(Everything but mine, oh-oh!)
Oh, oh-oh!
I hold you close when it all goes crazy
Oh, oh-oh!
And through it all, you'll be my lady
Why? (why?), tell me why? (why?)
You're everything, everything but mine

[Interlude: All & AJ]
Oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh
(Everything but mine, oh!)
Oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh
(Mine, oh-no)
Oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh
Oooh, oooh (oh-oh, baby)

[Bridge: AJ & Howie]
Someday you'll come around
I'm gonna leave a light on
I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
(I won't let you down)

[Chorus: All & AJ]
Oh, oh-oh!
You're the calm when my world is crashing
Oh, oh-oh!
My heart, my blood, my passion
Why? (why?), tell me why? (why?)
You're everything but mine
(Everything but mine, oh-oh!)
Oh, oh-oh!
I hold you close when it all goes crazy (crazy)
Oh, oh-oh!
And through it all, you'll be my lady
Why? (why?), tell me why? (why?)
You're everything (everything)
Everything but mine (everything)

[Outro: AJ]
You're everything but mine
You're everything but mine, yeah, oh!
You're the sun, you're the star
You're the moon, you're the rain
Love your lips, love your eyes
Driving me insane, oh baby, baby
Oh, you're everything but mine
You're everything but mine

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
