You Are You Are
Ex-Pet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are the one I want, the one
You are the one I want, the one

Driving down to Zehlendorf
I buy the lick on a summer afternoon
Laughing at some mis-translation
Order coffee and cake then take the train
Back into Mitte to see a film
About love and liberation
And after 'round the corner to a bar you know
Where you like to go

You are the one I want, the one
You are the one I want, the one

Winter, spring and summer, autumn
Always in my heart
Live like this forever
And we'll never be apart
You are the one I want, the one

It's like a drug
It's like a dream
A European film we could have seen
I can feel the sunshine warm up
And every bird in the sky's a performer
A tingle tangle chittering and chattering
By the fountain spluttering and splattering
On and on all through the summer night
They're taking flight

The one
You are the one
The one
You are the one

The one
You are the one
The one
You are the one

You are the one I want, the one
You are the one I want, the one

Winter, spring and summer, autumn
Always in my heart
Live like this forever
And we'll never be apart
You are the one I want, the one





You are the one
You are the one I want, the one

You know, the saddest part about a breakup is that their pets will never understand why you stopped visiting. :(

A video I can relate, minus the relationship part. I honestly care more about the dog than a person.
