im the one
JJ and The XX Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I hold you in my arms, Love
Something changes
It's the strangest feeling
The things that used to matter
They don't matter to me
When I see you
And you're smiling
How my heart aches
So full it is about to break
You make me believe in love

I could never count all the ways
That you change me, Baby
Every day the sky is a deeper shade of blue
When I'm with you
When I hear you, and you're crying
It resonates, Dear
In a place I didn't know was there
You make me believe in love

I could never count all the ways
That you change me, Baby
Every day the sky is a deeper shade of blue
When I'm with you

Beautiful baby
You're sweeter than strawberry pie
Just like the morning
Your smile brings the sunshine

I could never count all the ways
That you change me, Baby
Every day the sky is a deeper shade of blue
When I'm with you

I could never count all the ways
That you change me, Baby




Every day the sky is a deeper shade of blue
When I'm with you

There are so many absolutely terrible remixes of this song. However I heard this remix a long ass time ago, and it still holds up as the best remix of The Intro. Bravo mates. Spent legit a year trying to find this.
