Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the one I want
And you've turned down
Every hand that has beckoned me to come
You're my number one
You're the one I want
And I've turned down every hand
'Cause you're the one I got
You're the one I got
So I'll keep turning down the hands
That beckon me to come
Though I'm a geyser
Feel it bubbling from below
Hear it call, hear it call
Hear it call to me
Constantly
And hear the harmony
Only when it's harming me
It's not real, it's not real
It's not real enough
But I will be the one you need
The way I can't be without you
I will be the one you need
I just can't be without you

You're my number one
You are the most important person to me
You're the one I want
You are the person I desire the most
And you've turned down
You have rejected
Every hand that has beckoned me to come
Everyone who has invited me to be with them
And I've turned down every hand
I too have rejected everyone
That has beckoned me to come
Who has asked me to be with them
'Cause you're the one I got
Because you are the one I have
So I'll keep turning down the hands
Therefore, I will continue to reject invitations
That beckon me to come
That ask me to be with them
Though I'm a geyser
But my emotions are like a natural spring
Feel it bubbling from below
I can feel it rising from within me
Hear it call, hear it call
Hear my inner voice, hear my inner voice
Hear it call to me
My feelings are calling out to me
Constantly
All the time
And hear the harmony
I hear the blend of two different sounds
Only when it's harming me
But only when it's hurting me
It's not real, it's not real
It's a false sense of security, it's not genuine
It's not real enough
It's not authentic enough
But I will be the one you need
But I will be the person you require
The way I can't be without you
Just the way I cannot exist without you
I will be the one you need
I will satisfy all your needs
I just can't be without you
I simply cannot live without you

Lyrics:
You're my number one
You're the one I want
And I’ve turned down
Every hand that has beckoned me to come
You're my number one
You're the one I want
And I've turned down every hand
That has beckoned me to come
'Cause you're the one I got
You're the one I got
So I'll keep turning down the hands
That beckon me to come
Though I'm a geyser
Feel it bubbling from below
Hear it call, hear it call
Hear it call to me
Constantly
And hear the harmony
Only when it's harming me
It's not real, it's not real
It's not real enough
But I will be the one you need
The way I can't be without you
I will be the one you need
I just can't be without you

I love it but the first time I heard this song I thought my headphones were gonna explode
And then one time I was painting while listening to Mitski’s entire discography (yes I know) and it scared the shit out of me
