You're The One
Laurel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Call you late at night
Don′t know what to say
(Wanna runaway, way, way, way, yeah)
Call me when you're high
Call me when you′re high
You know how to play
I don't, always get, always get thrown
Words lost in the air, I mumble hello
Too drunk on my way
I don't know how to hide it
It′s always the same
And we′re only dancing
We're only swaying
Then I′m only saying
That you're the one now (you′re the one, ah, ah)
I don't if you heard me right
It keeps me up at night
Baby you′re the one now (you're the one, ah, ah)
I don't if you heard me right
It keeps me up at night
Standing in the dark
You′re really, really hot
Think I′m suffering (suffering yeah)
Under Cali skies
You could hypnotize
It's already happening (happening, yeah)
I don′t always get, always get home
Caught up in my head
I stumble to yours
Teardrops in my hands
I don't know how to hide them
It′s always the same
And we're only playing
I′m only falling
So drunk I'm saying
That you're the one now (you′re the one, ah, ah)
I don′t if you heard me right
It keeps me up at night
Baby you're the one now (you′re the one, ah, ah)
I don't if you heard me right
It keeps me up at night
Maybe you don′t wanna hear it
Or maybe I gotta speak up
Don't wanna wait until I′m sober
So I scream (that you're the one)
Maybe you don't wanna hear it
Or maybe I gotta speak up
Don′t wanna wait until I′m sober
So I scream
That you're the one now (you′re the one, ah, ah)
I don't if you heard me right
It keeps me up at night
Baby you′re the one now (you're the one, ah, ah)
I don′t if you heard me right
It keeps me up at night
That you're the one now (you're the one, ah, ah)
Baby you′re the one now (you′re the one, ah, ah)
I don't if you heard me right
It keeps me up at night
The song You're The One by Laurel delves into the emotions of a person who is deeply in love with someone but is too afraid to confess their feelings. The opening lines "Call you late at night, Don't know what to say" suggest a sense of desperation and longing to connect with the person they love. The mention of "Wanna runaway" implies that the person feels trapped in their emotions and may even want to escape the overwhelming feeling of love.
The next set of lines talks about the other person "Call me when you're high, You know how to play", indicating that the other person understands the game of love and knows how to keep the caller interested. However, the person singing the song is unable to express their feelings eloquently, as evident by the lines "Words lost in the air, I mumble hello". The singer seems to be struggling with their emotions, and they cannot hold them back, as it keeps them up at night.
The last paragraph highlights that the person has tears in their hands and does not know how to hide them. The lines "Maybe you don't wanna hear it, Or maybe I gotta speak up" illustrate how the person is torn between opening up about their feelings and being scared that they will not be reciprocated. The song portrays a sense of vulnerability and emotional turmoil, which is common in people who are in love.

She is smart to move towards a synthwave sound. This is the vibe of the 2020s. Neon lights cruising down the freeway. 😎
