Whatever happened to predictability?
The milkman, the paperboy, the evening TV?
How did I get delivered here? Somebody tell me please
‘Cause this old world is just really confusing me
Clouds as mean as you’ve ever seen
Ain’t a bird that knows your tune
Then a little voice inside of you whispers
Kid, don’t sell your dreams so soon
Everywhere you look, everywhere you go
There’s a heart (there’s a heart), a hand to hold onto
Everywhere you look, everywhere you go
There’s a face (there’s a face) of somebody who needs you
Whatever happened to the good old days?
Talking to friends for hours, swore it’d never go away
Now I’m feeling a little crazy trying to fit in with a scene
‘Cause how do you know where you’re going if you really don’t know who you’ve been?
Everybody eventually
Says that they’re as lost as you
So everybody shout it together
Hey, don’t sell your dreams so soon!
Everywhere you look, everywhere you go
There’s a heart (there’s a heart), a hand to hold onto
Everywhere you look, everywhere you go
There’s a face (there’s a face) of somebody who needs you
Everywhere you look, everywhere you go
There’s a heart (there’s a heart), a hand to hold onto
Everywhere you look…
When you’re lost out there and you’re all alone
A light is waiting to carry you home
Everywhere you look
Everywhere you look, everywhere you go
There’s a heart (there’s a heart), a hand to hold onto
Everywhere you look, everywhere you go
There’s a face (there’s a face) of somebody who needs you
Everywhere you look, yeah
When you’re lost out there and you’re all alone
A light is waiting to carry you home
Everywhere you look

Behind the Music: Meaning & Story
The Fuller House theme song is a modern, pop-infused reimagining of the original Full House theme. While the lyrics remain largely faithful to the 1987 classic, this version is performed by multi-platinum artist Carly Rae Jepsen. The update maintains the “feel-good” nostalgia of the Tanner family while giving it a fresh sound suitable for a new generation on Netflix.
The series serves as a direct sequel to the original sitcom, centering on a recently widowed D.J. Tanner-Fuller. Much like her father Danny did in the original series, D.J. enlists the help of her sister Stephanie and her best friend Kimmy Gibbler to help raise her three sons in their childhood home in San Francisco. The recurring theme of “Everywhere You Look” emphasizes that no matter how much the world changes, the support of family and friends remains a constant light “waiting to carry you home.”
The Fuller House version includes extended lyrics that were rarely heard in the shortened TV edits of the original show. By including lines about “how do you know where you’re going if you really don’t know who you’ve been,” the song highlights the show’s focus on legacy and the full-circle journey of the characters from children to parents.
