You Got
MêLée Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got what I'm looking for.
I got what you came here for.
You got what I need
And I want to start spending it now.

Through distance and time
We lose our confinement.
Few months go by
Years I might die.
So here in my mind
I dream of the time
I can get you alone
So close and alone.

'Cause you got what I'm looking for.
I got what you came here for.
You know what we need
And we need each other.

I want but I can't afford
You know what I'm saving for.
You know what we need
And I want it now.

The freeways are packed
And my fuel's burning.
I can't turn back
The exits are stacked.
So I sit here instead
And I try to forget
That I want you alone
So close and alone.

'Cause you got what I'm looking for.
I got what you came here for.
You know what we need
And we need each other.

I want but I can't afford
You know what I'm saving for.
You know what we need
And I want it now.

So don't hide your heart's desire
Let me light your soul on fire.
One crazy interview when I get alone

And she said, "Not without that ring on my hand.
We can't go further."
And I said, "Wait until you see what I've got,
What I've got in store for you then."

You got what I'm looking for.
I got what you came here for.
You know what we need
And we need each other.

You got what I'm looking for.
I got what you came here for.
You know what we need
And we need each other.

I want but I can't afford
You know what I'm saving for.
You know what we need
And I want it now.

So don't hide your heart's desire




Let me light your soul on fire.
One crazy interview when I get alone with you.
