You Were Right
RÃFÃS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I can't get enough of you
Leave it all to bloom
You were right
I don't know I can't get enough of you, no
The things that I would do
Under the water, I'm sinking further down
Arms are wide open, I'm calling out your name
Sitting and waiting, I'm waiting
You were right
I know I can't get enough of you
You were right
I don't know I can't get enough of you
Leave it all to bloom
You were right
I don't know I can't get enough of you, no
The things that I would do
I'm cold in the river
Lips moving, there's no sound
Pulling me under, I'm under
You've given me nothing
Keep telling me I'll be fine
Keeping me kissing, out guessing
You were right
You were right
I know I can't get enough of you
You were right
I don't know I can't get enough of you
You were right
I know I can't get enough of you
Leave it all to bloom
You were right
I don't know I can't get enough of you, no
The things that I would do
The lyrics of "You Were Right" by RÜFÜS are filled with references to the feelings that come with being completely infatuated with someone. The song is a love letter to a person who the singer feels completely submerged in; someone they can't seem to get enough of. The first verse sets the tone, with the singer acknowledging that the person they're singing about was right - they can't get enough of them. They'll do whatever it takes to be with them, including leaving everything else behind to "bloom" with their love.
The second verse continues to paint the picture of the singer's all-consuming love. They describe themselves as sinking further down underwater, their arms wide open and calling out their loved one's name. They're waiting for their partner to rescue them, to pull them back up to the surface. But even as they wait, they know that they'll never be able to get enough of this person. The chorus hammers that point home, repeating that the singer knows they can't get enough of their lover, no matter what.
Overall, "You Were Right" is a song about the heady, all-encompassing feeling of being in love. It's about that moment when you know you've found someone who you want to devote your entire being to, no matter the cost.
