There You Are
ZAYN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way you know me
Only you forgive me
When I'm sorry
Need you when I'm broken
When I'm fixed
Need you when I'm well
Friends that I rely on
Don't come through
They run like the river
But not you
Can't see when I'm falling
Losing myself
But then I hear you calling
There you are
There you are
You're there with open arms
There you are
There you are
And I run
Whispers in the background
Behind closed doors
I got myself in a mess and without you I'm in more
Oh, I'm a little drunk now
That's why I went to war
Oh yeah, you are my sober
When I'm on the floor
Can't see when I'm falling
Losing myself
But then I hear you calling
There you are
There you are
You're there with open arms
There you are
There you are
And I run
Only you know me the way you know me
Only you forgive me when I'm sorry
Even when I messed it up
There you are
Need you when I'm hot
When I'm cold
Need you when I'm young
When I'm old
You won't be far
There you are
There you are
You're there with open arms
There you are
There you are
And I run
Only you know me the way you know me
Only you forgive me when I'm sorry
Even when I messed it up
There you are
When you're caught in the crowds
When you're up in the clouds
When you're caught in the crowds
When you're up in the clouds
There you are
Zayn's song "There You Are" is a beautiful tribute to the idea of having someone in your life who is always there for you no matter what. The lyrics of the song describe the kind of connection that one can only have with a trusted friend or loved one who truly knows you inside and out. The opening lines of the song "Only you know me, the way you know me, only you forgive me when I'm sorry" sets the tone for the rest of the song.
The second verse of the song touches on the idea that even when times are tough, and friends can't be counted on, there is someone who is constant in your life. Zayn sings, "Friends that I rely on, don't come through, they run like the river but not you." This idea of someone who can be counted on when others let you down is further reinforced with the chorus of the song. Zayn sings, "There you are, there you are, you're there with open arms, there you are, there you are, and I run."
The bridge of the song showcases Zayn's unique vocal range and adds an emotional quality to the song. The lyrics "When you're caught in the crowds, When you're up in the clouds, There you are" give the listener a sense of comfort and safety, reminding us that no matter where we are or what we are going through, there is someone in our lives who will always be there for us.
Line by Line Meaning
Only you know me
There is only one person who truly understands me
The way you know me
That person has a deep knowledge of who I really am
Only you forgive me
This person is the only one who can truly forgive me when I make mistakes
When I'm sorry
Especially when I acknowledge my mistakes and apologize for them
Need you when I'm broken
When I am at my lowest point and in need of help
When I'm fixed
Even when things in my life have improved, I still need this person's support
Need you when I'm well
In good health and spirits, but still need emotional comfort
When I'm sick
In times of physical or emotional illness
Friends that I rely on
People who I thought would always be there for me
Don't come through
Can't provide the support I need when I need it most
They run like the river
Quickly desert me in my time of need
But not you
The person I can truly count on to always be there for me
Can't see when I'm falling
When I am struggling and can't see a way out
Losing myself
Feeling lost and alone in my struggles
But then I hear you calling
This person always manages to reach out and provide comfort in my darkest moments
There you are
The person who comes to my rescue time and time again
You're there with open arms
Providing a safe and welcoming space where I can find comfort
And I run
I am always quick to seek out this person's help and support when I need it most
Whispers in the background
Negative thoughts and doubts that I struggle with internally
Behind closed doors
Kept secret from the rest of the world
I got myself in a mess
My own actions and decisions have led me into a difficult situation
And without you I'm in more
Without this person's support, my situation would be even worse
Oh, I'm a little drunk now
Perhaps under the influence of alcohol or emotion
That's why I went to war
Acted rashly and impulsively because of my emotional state
Oh yeah, you are my sober
This person is a stabilizing force in my life
When I'm on the floor
When I hit rock bottom
Even when I messed it up
Despite my own failures and shortcomings
When you're caught in the crowds
When I'm surrounded by people and feeling overwhelmed
When you're up in the clouds
When I'm lost in my own thoughts and headspace

Only you know me
The way you know me
Only you forgive me
When I'm sorry
[Verse 1]

Losing myself
But then I hear you calling
[Chorus]
There you are
There you are
You're there with open arms
There you are
There you are
And I run
[Verse 2]
Whispers in the background
Behind closed doors
I got myself in a mess and without you, I'm in more
Oh, I'm a little drunk now
That's why I went to war
Oh yeah, you are my sober
When I'm on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't see when I'm falling
Losing myself
But then I hear you calling

There you are
There you are
You're there with open arms

There you are
There you are
And I run
[Post-Chorus]
Only you know me the way you know me
Only you forgive me when I'm sorry
Even when I messed it up
There you are
[Outro]
(Need you when I'm, need you when I'm
Need you when I'm, need you when I'm)
When you're caught in the crowds
When you're up in the clouds
When you're caught in the crowds
When you're up in the clouds
There you are

In a world of trends, where fame is the crown,
There's a hidden gem that I've always found,
A song underrated, but it shines so bright,
Just between you, me, and the artist's light.
"There You Are," the melody that resonates,
A gift from Zayn that no one anticipates,
Unleashing emotions that only we understand,
A masterpiece crafted by his skillful hand.
Through the whispers of the wind, it softly speaks,
A symphony of hope when life feels bleak,
In the depths of our hearts, it finds its home,
A sacred connection that we call our own.
Unveiling truths that only few can see,
A treasure trove of lyrics that set us free,
No fleeting trends or viral dance routines,
Just pure authenticity in every single scene.
So let the world overlook this precious find,
As we dance to the rhythm, leaving cares behind,
For this underrated song, like a guiding star,
It belongs to you, me, and the artist, there you are.
