You're The One I Want

This song honestly kills me sometimes. To the point that I wish I couldn't relate with it.

good lord does this song make me want to die what with ti being the aptest song ever written about my life ever oh my god i can't even make coherent sentences it is so good.

Holy shit, never realized how good these lyrics are.

jtb likes ' and '. cookie crumbs & alcohol milk & apples sugar & light bulbs [finding more of these would be a good party game.] good song. i think the meaning is obvious. you can always refer to the title if you can't decipher the lyrics.

agreed, you'd have to be a complete dumbass if you didn't understand what it means. but, what do all the ____ & ____ phrases mean??

there are lots of __ & ___ huh. scotch & segregation is one too haha

correct lyrics

blooming black flower wine slashed arms and new cut smiles tall for the falling down stronger now without you 'round

the prophecies were realized when we gave them proper time all thruths come to light after lies have their night

and it's hard without you but it's harder not to doubt you when you're soo polite I'm too uptight

you've grown more beautiful since you took off what can I do? I'm in love with you And it won't stop

you're the one I want you're the one I want

cookie crumbs and alchohol crooked hands the band's on hold cuz your shoulders make me old and your concerns they leave me cold

you've grown more beautiful since you took off what can I do? I'm in love with you and I can't stop

what's best for everyone is bound to hurt somebody what's best for everyone is killing me

let me down set me down let me down easy

blood crushed from a clock I'm in love but we just talk and your teeth make me weak and you're keeping them from me

dirty needles and sweets, white lies and dedication. i forgot those ones

It's pretty plain to see what this song is really about...

I'd definitely say it's either about unrequited love or possibly a break-up, due to the lines about the best for everyone being bound to hurt someone.

I absolutely love the way that the feeling of love is described in the song though. Love isn't always clean and kosher, and the lines like "Blood crushed from a clock." and "Slashed arms and new cut smiles." show that unclean side of love.

My absolute favorite line is the end though... it has to be my favorite single piece of lyricism right now.

"and your teeth make me weak, and you're keeping them from me."

Oh yeah, that line at the end is amazing.
