You for Me
Sigala & Rita Ora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I should've told you that I wanted you for me

You make it really hard to sleep
You keep me up
Baby, you're my adrenaline, ah
Brought out this other side of me
You don't even know
Controlling my whole anatomy, ah

Fingers are holding you right at the edge
You're slipping out of my hands
Keeping my secrets all up in my head
I'm scared that you won't want me back, oh

I dance to every song like it's about you
I drink 'til I kiss someone who looks like you
I wish that I was honest when I had you
I should've told you that I wanted you for me
I dance to every song like it's about you
I drink 'til I kiss someone who looks like you
I wish that I was honest when I had you
I should've told you that I wanted you for me

Yeah, yeah
I wanted you for me
I should've told you that I wanted you for me

I'm in this party just because
Tears in my cup
Swallow it down to feel the rush, ah
I'm on the other side of town
Spinning around
Don't even know you let me down, ah

Fingers are holding you right at the edge
You're slipping out of my hands
Keeping my secrets all up in my head
I'm scared that you won't want me back, oh (yeah)

I dance to every song like it's about you
I drink 'til I kiss someone who looks like you
I wish that I was honest when I had you
I should've told you that I wanted you for me

Innocent lovers
We hold onto one another
Let's rediscover
You are the one for me, oh

I dance to every song like it's about you
I drink 'til I kiss someone who looks like you
I wish that I was honest when I had you
I should've told you that I wanted you for me (yeah)

I dance, now, around you (now, ah)
I kiss, drinks, looks like you (looks like you)




One kiss, wish I had you (honest when I had you)
I should've told you that I wanted you for me

The Book of Truth
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
