Gotta Find You
Jonas Joe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I think I'm closer to the heart
Of what it means to know just who I am
I think I've finally found a better place to start
But no one ever seems to understand

I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be you're not that far
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

You're the remedy I'm searching hard to find
To fix the puzzle that I see inside
Panting all my dreams the color of your smile
When I find you it will be alright

I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be you're not that far

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Been feeling lost, can't find the words to say
Spending all my time, stuck in yesterday
Where you are is where I wanna be
Oh next to you
And you next to me
Oh, I need to find you
Yeah

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah





Yeah, yeah, I gotta find you

Una pequeña traducción en español Cada vez que pienso
Estoy más cerca del corazón ...
de lo que significa
para saber quién soy.
Creo que finalmente encontré un mejor lugar para empezar.
Pero nadie parece entenderlo nunca.
Necesito intentar llegar a donde estás.
Podría ser
no estas tan lejos?
Tú eres la voz
Escucho dentro de mi cabeza la razón por la que estoy cantando.
Necesito encontrarte.
Tengo que encontrarte.
Eres la pieza que falta. Necesito la canción dentro de mí.
Necesito encontrarte.
Tengo que encontrarte.

This song is soooo nostalgic for me, even 12 years later. I watched this movie live the day it aired on the Disney channel. My middle school girlfriend and I watched it together, but on the phone. I've never been able to forget that time in my life. In grade 8, I had one of the best years of my life. I often forget things that happen these days pretty fast, but I somehow can recall moments from over a decade ago with such clarity. Memory is such a strange thing. I still love Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers to this day <3

@MrDestroyedSoulx

@Rachel Castillo Yep haha. Now I feel old xD

@claudiaw9097
