You
Benny Blanco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wish I could hold you
It's only you
In the moments when I walk these city streets with someone else
I wish I told you
It's only you
Oh, you
When the night is over, out of all the places I could choose
I go to you
Only you
Feel you just below the surface, darling, all I wanna do is
Go to you
I go to you
I go to you
There were times when you would reach out for a little more of me
Now I can see how much it hurt when I stood still
But I'm learning what it's like to open up a different side
'Cause when something hurts this much, I know it's real
Oh, you
Only you
When the night is over, out of all the places I could choose
I go to you
Only you
Feel you just below the surface, darling, all I wanna do is
Go to you
I go to you
Feel you just below the surface and I'm getting on with getting through
'Cause things are good and getting better
Holding on until forever doesn't seem to feel so far away
Oh you
Only you
Feel you just below the surface, darling, all I wanna do is
Go to you
I go to you
I go to you
I go to you
I go to you
I go to you
I go to you
I go to you
The lyrics to Benny Blanco's song "You" explore the idea of seeking comfort and security in a specific person. In the moments when the singer feels lost or disconnected from themselves, they wish they could hold this person - the person who can ground them and bring them back to reality. It's clear that this person holds a special place in the singer's heart, as they are the only one the singer truly wants to be with, even when surrounded by other people.
The second verse of the song explores some of the difficulties that may have arisen in the relationship between the singer and this person. It seems that at one point, the singer may not have been fully present or invested in the relationship, leaving the other person wanting more. However, now the singer is learning to open up and be more vulnerable with this person. The chorus repeats the sentiment of the singer's strong desire to be with this person and feel their presence - even just below the surface. The singer recognizes that things are improving and wants to hold onto this person for the foreseeable future.

In the moments when I hear my voice but don't feel like myself
At times when I recognize my own voice but don't feel connected to my own being
Wish I could hold you
I wish I could physically embrace you
It's only you
You are the only one who matters to me
In the moments when I walk these city streets with someone else
When I am out in the city with another person
I wish I told you
I regret not expressing my feelings to you
Oh, you
Oh, my love
When the night is over, out of all the places I could choose
At the end of the night, with a range of options available to me
I go to you
I choose to be with you
Feel you just below the surface, darling, all I wanna do is
I sense your presence just below the surface and all I want is
Go to you
To come to you
There were times when you would reach out for a little more of me
In the past, you tried to connect with me on a deeper level
Now I can see how much it hurt when I stood still
I understand now how much it must have hurt you when I didn't reciprocate your advances
But I'm learning what it's like to open up a different side
I am learning to express a different side of myself
'Cause when something hurts this much, I know it's real
Because when something causes this much emotional pain, I know it is genuine
Feel you just below the surface and I'm getting on with getting through
I can sense your presence just under the surface and I am trying to move forward
'Cause things are good and getting better
Because things are going well and improving
Holding on until forever doesn't seem to feel so far away
I am hopeful about our future together
I go to you
I choose to be with you

The 🎺 and the 🎷 their sounds in this brings me serenity, and then Vance Joy’s voice make me feel cared for. This is something you would sing to someone you loved.
