The Cab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Almost a million words that I could say, but none of them will do.
So many years that I have lived, but it feels like I've just begun.
Out of the seven billion people, baby, you're the only one.
I've been too many places. I've seen too many faces.
I wrote too many pages; never found a love like you. (Love like you)
I don't know how to say it. It's been more than amazing.
Sleep, dream, you, repeat. Live, die next to me.
Sleep, dream, you, repeat. Sleep, dream.
Out of the seven billion people in this world, there's only you.
Almost a million words that I could say, but none of them will do.
So many years that I have lived, but it feels like I've just begun.
Out of the seven billion people, baby, you're the only one.
You were unexpected, when our lips connected.
I was resurrected; never found a love like you. (love like you)
Don't care where I'm headed when the world is ending.
'cause you are my heaven; never found a love like you. (Love like you)
Sleep, dream, you, repeat. Live, die next to me.
Sleep, dream, you, repeat. Sleep, dream.
Out of the seven billion people in this world, there's only you.
Almost a million words that I could say, but none of them will do.
So many years that I have lived, but it feels like I've just begun.
Out of the seven billion people, baby, you're the only one.
Surrounded by numbers.
(Numbers, numbers, numbers)
You're the only one.
(Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers)
You brought me back to life.
You did the unthinkable.
Yeah, you are my miracle.
Out of the seven billion people in this world, there's only you.
Almost a million words that I could say, but none of them will do.
So many years that I have lived, but it feels like I've just begun.
Out of the seven billion people, baby, you're the only one.
Surrounded by numbers.
(Numbers, numbers, numbers)
You're the only one.
(Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers)
You're the only one.
Surrounded by numbers.
(Numbers, numbers, numbers)
You're the only one.
(Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers)
You're the only one.
The Cab's song "Numbers" is a love song about feeling like there is no one else in the world but the person they are singing to. The lyrics describe how out of seven billion people on the planet, the person they are singing to is the only one that matters to them. The first verse talks about how they could say a million words, but none of them would explain how they feel about the person they are singing to. The verse also mentions that even though they have lived for many years, it feels like they have just begun because they have found someone who matters to them so deeply.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that the person they are singing to is the only one in the world that matters to them. The second verse describes how the singer has been to many places and seen many faces, but they have never found love like they have with the person they are singing to. The verse also expresses that they don't know how to describe their feelings for the person because they have been waiting their whole life to find someone like them.
The bridge talks about how the person they are singing to brought them back to life and did the unthinkable, making them their miracle. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus about how the person they are singing to is the only one in the world that matters to them.
