It's You
Annie Stela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We line up in a row outside
And passed around a cigarette
Just babies squinting up at the street light
Whispering about what's coming next
And you said
"Just say you will,
You will, you will.
Ohh, I may be young
But I know when I love someone
When I love someone
You said, "Ohh I may be young"
But I know when I love someone
When I love someone
And it's you
Our ankles intertwine
And then your hands are a beginning to my body's end
We kicked our shoes off and laid down in the grassy lawn
Still new enough to play pretend
And you said
"Just say you will,
Just say you will."
You will, you will.
Ohh, I may be young
But I know when I love someone
When I love someone
You said, "Ohh I may be young"
But I know when I love someone
When I love someone
And it's you
Oh, it's you
Why did I choose these mistakes?
These mistakes to make
Because it's you
Oh, it's you
It never changed for me
It will always be...
Ohh, I may be young
But I know when I love someone
When I love someone...
Ohh, I may be young
But I know when I love someone
When I love someone
And it's you
Oh, it's you
Oh, it's you
Oh, it's you.
Annie Stela’s “It’s You” is a song that reflects on the beginning of a relationship, the excitement and nervousness that come with it, and how those feelings can stay with someone for a long time. In the first verse, the image of babies passing around a cigarette is presented as a way of symbolizing how new and inexperienced they are in the world. They are unsure of what is to come, but they are excited to find out. However, the chorus reveals that there is someone that they are not unsure about. When the singer says, "Ohh, I may be young, but I know when I love someone," it is clear that they have found someone special in their life. The repetition of "it's you" emphasizes the strong feelings that they have for this person.
The second verse describes an intimate moment between the two lovers. Their body parts combine to create a whole, which mirrors how they are whole when they are together. Their shoes come off, they lay in the grass, and they play pretend, which paints a picture of a couple that is carefree and spontaneous. The singer once again expresses their confidence in their feelings for their partner when they say, "I may be young, but I know when I love someone."
The chorus is repeated twice more to hammer home the idea that this person is special to the singer, and that they will always feel this way. This song is a testament to the power of young love and the impact that it can have on a person's life.
Line by Line Meaning
So when we all took our first breath
From the moment we're born, we're all in this together.
We line up in a row outside
We all start out with the same clean slate in this journey called life.
And passed around a cigarette
We all make mistakes and give into temptation, even when we should know better.
Just babies squinting up at the street light
Despite our inexperience, we're all trying to find our way through this bright, confusing world.
Whispering about what's coming next
We're all scared of the unknown and what the future holds.
And you said
"Just say you will,
Just say you will."
You will, you will.
You gave me the confidence to trust my instincts and take a chance on love, even when I wasn't sure.
Ohh, I may be young
But I know when I love someone
When I love someone
You said, "Ohh I may be young"
But I know when I love someone
When I love someone
And it's you
You showed me that love has no age limit, and that when it's real, you just know.
Our ankles intertwine
We're physically and emotionally connected, and it feels right.
And then your hands are a beginning to my body's end
Your touch ignites something within me, something that feels like it's been there all along.
We kicked our shoes off and laid down in the grassy lawn
We let go of our inhibitions and enjoyed the moment, without worrying about what anyone else might think.
Still new enough to play pretend
We're not quite grown up yet, but we're eager to explore all the possibilities of love and life.
Oh, it's you
Why did I choose these mistakes?
These mistakes to make
Because it's you
Oh, it's you
It never changed for me
It will always be...
Even when I mess up and make mistakes, I know that you're the one I want to be with, no matter what.
Ohh, I may be young
But I know when I love someone
When I love someone...
I may not have all the answers, but I know what my heart is telling me, and I trust that above all else.
Oh, it's you
Oh, it's you
Oh, it's you.
You are the one I choose, now and always.
