Favorite Song
Colbie Caillat Lyrics

I wanna be your favorite song
I want to be the song that means the most to you.

You can turn it up, play me all night long
You can listen to me as loud and as long as you want, because I want to be a part of your life.

La la la la la, la la la la
This is the refrain, showing how fun and catchy the song is.

We on our way back, we on a play back
We're coming back strong, playing our music loud for all to hear.

We want some new plus oh never change that
We're experimenting with new sounds, but we still want to keep our classic style that everyone loves.

We on a new tip, good music
We're making new and exciting music that we're proud of.

We see the pen and the paper, we gonna use it
We're going to keep writing and using our creative energy to make more great music.

It takes a late night, to get them bright lights
Success takes hard work and dedication, including late nights spent writing and practicing.

We keep writing them songs, to live that good life
We write songs to achieve our dreams and live the life we want to live.

I do it for you, I do it for me
I make music not only for myself, but also for the people who listen and relate to it.

We break it down, Colbie, tell them the story
We use music to tell our stories and get our message across, with Colbie taking the lead in this song.

Listen can you hear me?
Can you hear my music and feel its message?

Am I coming in on your frequency?
Do you understand and resonate with my music?

I got a story
I have a message and a story to tell through my music.

Subject of the plot, you and me
The main focus of this story is the relationship between the singer and the listener.

And when you're sleeping, and when you're waking
My song is with you all the time, even in your dreams and when you wake up.

And when you're feeling good
My song is especially there for you when you're feeling happy and upbeat.

I'll be the thing that, you want to sing back
My song will stick in your head to the point where you can't help but sing it back.

Stuck in your head like I knew you would
My music is purposefully catchy and memorable, so it's no surprise that it's stuck in your head.

I wanna be your melody
I want my music to be the tune that's always playing in your head.

Flowing through your head when you think of me
When you think of me, I want my music to be the first thing that comes to mind.

You'll be singing like
My music is so catchy that you can't help but sing it back.

Baby can you feel me?
Can you feel the emotion and passion in my music?

I'm the kick drum that gets your heart to beat
My music has a strong and powerful rhythm that can give you an adrenaline rush and make your heart race.

I gotta have you near me
My music is only complete when it's played for someone who truly appreciates it.

You can count me into every song I sing
I always put my all into every song I sing, and you can always count on me to give it my best.

Girl the songs you sing
Addressing the listener affectionately, acknowledging their own love for music.

They my favorite things
The attitude of admiration she had for the girl's music.

You stay in my dreams
She had constant exposure to this person's music as it inspired and influenced her.

Something supreme, ah
The sense of amazement she felt every time she heard her music.

Love is the key, and it's made your life see
Love is what drives us to make music, and it has changed our lives for the better.

Common and Colbie, I'm dusting off the old me
The singers are proud to collaborate and bring new life to their music styles.

Like the OLB we call 'em oldies
The sing 'em like Oldies but Goodies, classic hits that never get old.

In your melodies, I'm hearing things you never told me
They can hear through each other's music the stories, revelations and feelings left unspoken.

We stay in tune with each other
They understand each other personally through their shared musical connection.

In our room we'll discover new ways to do covers
Together they'll experiment with remixing well-known songs, with the intention of adding their own personal twist of uniqueness.

No matter how they dub us
No matter what labels, genres or classifications people attach to them or their music, they'll stay true to themselves.

We should stay true to the trust
Trust being the bond that unites them in the creation of art and gives birth to their musical collaboration.

And the winner of the best duo is us, uh
Addressing their confidence that their music is the best and most genuine out there, represented in the duo they make with their unique style.

All I wanna, all I wanna, all I wanna say is
Repetition highlighting an important statement.

I just wanna sing it to you everyday
The desire to share your own passion and music, singing it forever.

La la la la la
The chant that has defined and united this song throughout.
