U Are the One
Jay Sean ft. Chris Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you know the feeling
When sometimes you wake up young, and sometimes you wake up old
And sometimes you're so in love
And Do you know the feeling
When their love just comes undone
And I can't figure it out
What something's got me unlock, but you my baby
There were some times I put up a fight
But when something is right, you know that is right
And I don't wanna think, it's simple to me, you're the one

And baby that's why

And I can't help it, I gotta be where you are
Like the sky holding the stars
Like the strings on my guitar
I wanna be where you are
Like the sand that's on the beach
Like a model in a magazine
It don't mean a thing, if we're apart
I wanna be where you are
Where you are, where you are
And that's it baby I wanna be where you are

And baby every time you're around
You're the one that always holds me down
And don't even ask for a thing, no
You make a real win, even when things ain't perfect
You're the one that keeps the fire burning
And that's the reason why, I ain't leaving

And I can't help it, I gotta be where you are
Like the sky holding the stars
Like the strings on my guitar
I wanna be where you are
Like the sand that's on the beach
Like a model in a magazine
It don't mean a thing, if we're apart
I wanna be where you are
Where you are, where you are
And that's it baby I wanna be where you are

Yeah yeah yeah
I wanna be with you
Yeah yeah yeah
Baby I wanna be with you
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah babe
I gotta be, I gotta be with you baby

And I can't help it, I gotta be where you are
Like the sky holding the stars
Like the strings on my guitar
I wanna be where you are
Like the sand that's on the beach
Like a model in a magazine
It don't mean a thing, if we're apart
I wanna be where you are




Where you are, where you are
Said I wanna be where you are

Overall Meaning

The song "Where You Are" by Jay Sean is an upbeat and romantic track that explores the feeling of being deeply in love with someone and wanting to be close to them all the time. In the first verse, the singer describes the contrasting experiences of waking up feeling young or old and being in love or feeling disconnected from a partner. He then focuses on the positive feelings he has towards his partner and his deep desire to be with them always. He uses several metaphors to describe this feeling, comparing it to the sky holding the stars or the strings on his guitar.


The second verse reaffirms these feelings as the singer speaks directly to his partner. He describes how she holds him down and supports him, even when things aren't perfect, and how this has kept the "fire burning" in their relationship. The chorus repeats the desire to be with the partner and uses more metaphors, such as the sand on the beach or a model in a magazine, to illustrate how important being together is to the singer.


Overall, the song is a passionate tribute to love and the power it has to inspire and motivate people to be their best selves. It highlights the desire to be close to someone and the feeling of completeness that comes with finding the right partner.


Line by Line Meaning

Do you know the feeling
Have you ever experienced the sensation


When sometimes you wake up young, and sometimes you wake up old
When some days you feel youthful and other days you feel aged


And sometimes you're so in love
And occasionally you feel deeply enamored


And Do you know the feeling
And do you know this sensation


When their love just comes undone
When their affection suddenly ends


And I can't figure it out
And I can't comprehend it


What something's got me unlock, but you my baby
What's causing me to feel liberated is you, my love


There were some times I put up a fight
There were instances where I resisted


But when something is right, you know that is right
But when something is correct, you realize it's accurate


And I don't wanna think, it's simple to me, you're the one
And I don't want to consider, it's clear to me that you're the person


And baby that's why
And that's why, my dear


And baby every time you're around
And every time you're present, baby


You're the one that always holds me down
You're the individual who protects and supports me


And don't even ask for a thing, no
And you never ask for anything, no


You make a real win, even when things ain't perfect
You turn a genuine victory, even when things aren't ideal


You're the one that keeps the fire burning
You're the person who sustains the passion


And that's the reason why, I ain't leaving
And that's the reason why I won't depart


Yeah yeah yeah
Yes, yes, yes


I wanna be with you
I desire to be with you


Oh yeah babe
Oh yeah, darling


I gotta be, I gotta be with you baby
I must be, I have to be with you, my love


Said I wanna be where you are
I proclaimed that I wish to be with you


And I can't help it, I gotta be where you are
And I can't resist, I must be where you are


Like the sky holding the stars
Like the sky that contains the stars


Like the strings on my guitar
Like the strings on my guitar that create music


I wanna be where you are
I long to be in your presence


Like the sand that's on the beach
Like the grains of sand found on the shore


Like a model in a magazine
Like a model featured in a publication


It don't mean a thing, if we're apart
It doesn't matter if we're separated


Where you are, where you are
In your vicinity, in your whereabouts


And that's it baby I wanna be where you are
And that's all, my dear, I want to be by your side
