It's You
Gail Blanco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And know why rapid beats my heart
I see the spark, I feel the flame of the fire
Letting me know love wants to start
No more playing around
No more waiting around for the special one to come
No more wearing a frown
No more tears coming down 'cause I know what I want
Is you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, it's you, you're the angel sent from heaven above
It's you, nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me
(Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
I look behind and what I sight is the mire
So very lonely was my heart
I look ahead I hear the sound of the choir
Singing that love will never part
No more hearing the sound of the rain coming down
No more I can't see the sun
No more hurting for fun 'cause the moment has come
When I know what I want
And I want what I know
The lyrics to Gail Blanco's song It's You speak of a transformative moment in the artist's life where she has found love and has decided to embrace it wholeheartedly. In the first stanza, she references looking inside her "crystal ball of desire" where she sees the "spark" and "flame" of love's fire. She decides to stop playing and waiting around for the right person to come along and instead decides to make a bold declaration: "I know what I want/ And I want what I know/ Is you/ Nobody has to tell me so/ It's you, you're the angel sent from heaven above." The song mostly paints a positive image of love, with the chorus repeating the line "Nobody has to tell me so/ It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me."
However, the post-chorus offers a counterpoint to the overall optimism of the song when the artist reflects on what could have happened if she hadn't waited for the right person: "If only I had not waited/ I would have picked the wrong one/ If only I had not waited/ My life would be undone." These lines could suggest a sense of regret or fear about previous failed relationships or missed opportunities. The final stanza offers a glimpse into the future, where the artist looks ahead and hears the "sound of the choir" singing that "love will never part."
Overall, the lyrics of It's You are centered around the idea of finding and embracing true love. The artist describes a moment where they have stopped playing around and are ready to commit to the right person. While the song is mainly positive and celebrates the power of love, there are also hints of doubt and regret peppered throughout, showcasing the complex nature of human relationships.
