You're The One
Charli XCX(찰리 엑스씨엑스) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't stand in the darkness
Thinking light luck
Keep the soul loose

Cristals on the skyline
Cut the midnight
Alterable lift
You're the one that can make me stay
You're the only one who makes me feel this way
You're the one that's been stealing stars
Your golden arrow went through my eye
You're the one that can turn the Wage
You're the one that gave me light in another gage
Now I'm dancing in the tide

Fly me through the black night
You're the angel in the new light
Running through the thunder
I need to cover, so for low, low

You're the one that can make me stay
You're the only one who makes me feel this way
You're the one that's been stealing stars
Your golden arrow went through my eye
You're the one that can turn the page
You're the one that gave me light in another gage
Now I'm dancing in the tide

You're the one that can make me stay
You're the only one who makes me feel this way
You're the one that's been stealing stars
Your golden arrow went through my eye
You're the one that can turn the Wage
You're the one that gave me light in another gage
Now I'm dancing in the tide

You're the one that can make me stay
You're the only one who makes me feel this way
You're the one that's been stealing stars
Your golden arrow went through my eye
You're the one that can turn the page
You're the one that gave me light in another gage
Now I'm dancing in the tide

Yeah I'm dancing in the darkness
Three years before I was feeling so heartless
But your bright shined through
Now I'm drinking love Wotion
On my late nights too

It's a criminal feeling
Happiness cries and the tears are dreaming
My body is screaming




I'm staying right here
No I'll never be leaving

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "You're The One" by Charli XCX are describing an intense romance where the singer is overwhelmed with emotions for her lover. The first few lines warn about not standing in darkness and instead embracing light and being free in spirit. "Crystals on the skyline" is a beautiful visual description of the stars shining in the night sky that the lover has been stealing, as if they belong to nobody else but them. The golden arrow that went through the singer's eye is a metaphorical representation of love hitting her hard, suggesting that the singer has been struck by Cupid's arrow and can't help but fall for their lover.


Throughout the song, the lyrics imply that the singer has been saved by this person who means everything to her - "You're the angel in the new light". The lyrics talk about the idea of the singer being "dancing in the tide" and "drinking love potion", which suggests that the singer feels loved and is now living life to the fullest. The singer has finally found happiness as a result of their lover's love shining through the darkness.


This song is ultimately about the power of love and how it can transform a person's life. By finding someone who means the world to you, you can discover new heights of emotion, and the lyrics describe this beautifully.

Dancing, in the darkness
Pink and lilac
Keep the silence

Crystals on the skyline
Cut the midnight
Ultraviolet

You're the one who can make me stay
You're the only one who makes me feel this way
You're the one that's been stealing stars
Your golden arrow went through my heart
You're the one that can turn the page
You're the one who came along and unlocked the cage
Now I'm dancing in the dark

Flying through the black night
You're the angel in the moon light
Running through the thunder
Undercover, silver lover

You're the one who can make me stay
You're the only one who makes me feel this way
You're the one that's been stealing stars
Your golden arrow went through my heart
You're the one that can turn the page
You're the one who came along and unlocked the cage
Now I'm dancing in the dark
[x3]

Yeah I'm dancing in the darkness
Three years before I was feeling so heartless
But your burn shined through
And I'm drinking love potion
When I lay next to you

It's a criminal feeling
Happiness cries and the tears are dreaming
My body is screaming
I'm staying right here
No I'll never be leaving
