Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rain on the road in my view
Holding my heart, it's the first night without you
On my clothes I still smell your perfume
Should have called
When I left you were crying
Is it too late to apologize?
To finally saying goodbye
Now I regret every word that was spoken
I said some things you know I didn't mean
Maybe we'll turn back the time
Work it out, start a new
Oh maybe today I've lost you
I can't help but think of our last conversation
I close my eyes I can still see your face
I hope what I'm feeling now
You are feeling it too
Oh maybe today I've lost you
Driving faster out on this empty road
Being single's so bad at twenty-three
Looking for signs, asking strangers directions
When the answer's right in front of me
Strange how a minute can feel like a lifetime
I know what I had now it's gone
I swallowed my pride 'cause alone here, I'm dying
And with you is where I belong
For twenty-four hours I've been searching for reasons
Reasons why we should be living apart
Hope I'm not too late to come home
Work it out, start anew
Oh maybe today I've lost you
Maybe today, I've lost you
Maybe today, I've lost you
The lyrics to Take That's song "You Are The One" reflect the emotions of heartbreak and regret. The song tells the story of a man who has recently separated from his lover, and is struggling to come to terms with his new reality. As he drives home alone in the dark, he is haunted by the memory of his lover's tears, and the scent of her perfume that still clings to his clothes. He wishes he had not said the things that led to their break-up, and reflects on his own foolishness in letting her go. He regrets every word that was spoken, realizing that he said things he didn't mean.
The chorus of the song expresses his desire to make amends and to win her back. He hopes that she feels the same way he does and that there is still a chance for them to work things out. He is willing to swallow his pride and do whatever it takes to start a new chapter with her. He feels that he is lost without her and that she is the only person who can make him feel complete again.
Overall, "You Are The One" is a poignant and relatable song about the ups and downs of relationships, and the importance of reflecting on our own actions and words in order to find closure and move forward.
Line by Line Meaning
Driving home in my car, nearly midnight
I'm driving alone on this dark, lonely road with a heavy heart
Rain on the road in my view
The rain makes my view hazy, just like my love life
Holding my heart, it's the first night without you
I feel lost and alone on this first night after our breakup
On my clothes I still smell your perfume
Your scent is still lingering on me, reminding me of what we had
Should have called
I regret not reaching out to you earlier
When I left you were crying
You were heartbroken when I walked out that door
Is it too late to apologize?
I wonder if I can make things right between us
From talking to fighting, admitting, denying
Our relationship went through many ups and downs, including arguments and lies
To finally saying goodbye
We ended things on a sad note
Now I regret every word that was spoken
I wish I could take back everything I said during our arguments
I said some things you know I didn't mean
My emotions got the best of me, and I said hurtful things that I didn't really mean
Maybe we'll turn back the time
I wish I could go back in time and make things right between us
Work it out, start a new
I hope we can put our differences aside and start fresh
Oh maybe today I've lost you
I'm worried that our relationship is truly over
I can't help but think of our last conversation
Our last conversation keeps playing in my mind
I close my eyes I can still see your face
Your image is still so vivid in my mind
I hope what I'm feeling now
I hope you're feeling the same way I am right now
You are feeling it too
I hope you're feeling the same pain and regret that I am
Driving faster out on this empty road
I'm driving recklessly on this empty road, trying to escape my emotions
Being single's so bad at twenty-three
Being alone at such a young age is difficult
Looking for signs, asking strangers directions
I'm lost, both emotionally and physically
When the answer's right in front of me
The answer to my problems was with you all along
Strange how a minute can feel like a lifetime
Time seems to be moving so slowly when I'm without you
I know what I had now it's gone
I realize how important you were to me now that you're gone
I swallowed my pride 'cause alone here, I'm dying
I'm willing to put aside my pride because being alone is killing me
And with you is where I belong
I finally realize that I belong with you
For twenty-four hours I've been searching for reasons
I've been desperately trying to find reasons to justify our breakup
Reasons why we should be living apart
I've been trying to convince myself that it was for the best that we broke up
Hope I'm not too late to come home
I hope there's still a chance for us to reconcile
Maybe today, I've lost you
I fear that today is the day that I've truly lost you
