I Could Be The One
Avicii Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you think about me when you're all alone?
The things we used to do, we used to be
I could be the one to make you feel that way
I could be the one to set you free

Do you think about me when the crowd is gone?
It used to be so easy, you and me
I could be the one to make you feel that way
I could be the one to set you free

I could be the one to make you feel that way
I could be the one to set you free
I could be the one to make you feel that way
I could be the one to set you free

When you need a way to beat the pressure down
When you need to find a way to breathe
I could be the one to make you feel that way
I could be the one to set you free

If you wanna see me when the crowd is gone
Used to be so easy, can't you see?
I could be the one to make you feel that way
I could be the one to set you free

I could be the one to make you feel that way
I could be the one to set you free
I could be the one to make you feel that way
I could be the one to set you free

I could be the one to make you feel that way
I could be the one to set you free




I could be the one to make you feel that way
I could be the one to set you free

Overall Meaning

The song begins by asking if the other person thinks about them when they are alone, and reminisces about the good times they used to share. The singer then expresses the desire to be the one to make the other person feel the same way they did before, and to be the one to set them free from their current situation.


The lyrics continue to speak about the difficulties of life and the need to find a way to cope, and once again the singer suggests that they could be the person to provide this support. The chorus repeats the assertion that they could be the one to make the other person feel free and happy. The song concludes with a final repetition of this sentiment, driving home the message that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to make their former love happy again.
