One Plus One
Hugo Helmig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I’m gonna find you somewhere

Thinking ‘bout you feels just like a memory
And I know exactly what is does to me
I think I might need a bit of therapy
You took all of me

Jaw dropping you’re so perfect
I’ve been looking for you everywhere
You know I’m searching ‘till the words ends
Maybe I’ll meet you there

I don’t belong in California
I don’t belong Amsterdam
And I don’t belong in Barcelona
I’m fine where you are
Where you really are

I’m fine where you are, fine where you are

I wonder what it be
Be like
I always mix you up with real life
Like a soldier who don’t see
That the enemy is gone so he keeps on fighting alone

Jaw dropping you’re amazing
I’ve been looking for you everywhere
So much time that I wasted
If I don’t meet you there

I don’t belong in California
I don’t belong Amsterdam
And I don’t belong in Barcelona
I’m fine where you are
Where you really are

I’m fine where you are, fine where you are

I know I’m gonna find you somewhere

I don’t belong in California
I don’t belong Amsterdam
And I don’t belong in Barcelona




I’m fine where you are
Where you really are
