You're The One
FM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh...

I down another bottle, try to chase away these blues
I look in my reflection but all I see is you
Surrounded by strangers, but they don't know
How I had it all and I let it go

I sit here thinking where did I go wrong
But it's all too little too late, the damage has been done
They say you can't turn back time and now I know
That I had it all and I let it go, oh...
I must've been crazy, I must've been blind
I know that I'll regret it for the rest of my life

You're all I need, girl
So I keep holding on
You're all I need, girl
All I want, you're all I want
Baby, you're the one
Oh, you're the one

They say love can be your savior, they say love will find a way
But it can leave you helpless, if you let it slip away
So take a little good advice from one who knows
'Cos I had it all and I let it go, yeah, yeah
Things can only get better, you got to have a little faith
I know you're gonna come back, girl, so every night I pray

You're all I need, girl
So I keep holding on
You're all I need, girl
All I want, you're all I want

I'm reaching out, but I can't touch you
I'm out of sight and out of mind
They say time's the only healer
In a world full of lonely hearts just waiting in line
Waiting in line

You're all I need, girl
So I keep holding on
You're all I need, girl
All I want, you're all I want

You're all I need, girl
So I keep holding on
You're all I need, girl
All I want, you're all I want

Baby, you're the one
Baby, you're the one
All I want
Baby, you're the one
You're the one
All I want




You're all I need
You're the one

Steve Overland es, en mi opinión, uno de los mejores vocalistas del rock de las últimas tres décadas. Su nivel vocal y la calidad de la banda no son reconocidas como debería. La música es aveces así de injusta. Gran canción, con una preciosa letra.

Antonio Aorland

asi es....una verdadera .lastima... Les veremos en MAdrid en breve :)

TOTAL ARMAGEDDON / CÈSAR GONZÀLEZ

Alvaro I.L es verdad que banda tan impresionante es FM, de lo mejor que he escuchado de Inglaterra, larga vida al rock and roll de mi época, que baladota!!!!

Ma Ho

Dead Man's Shoes was the first Record from FM for me. And it showed me how great melodic Rock can be. I have to confess that Tough it out is much better, but Dead Man Shoe's is a very good piece of emotional and catchy hard rock.
