I turned my back
You were gone in a flash
Like you always do
You've always gone off somewhere else
And when the phone rang
And I thought it was you
And I sprung like a kid who just got out of school
But it's almost always never you, never you
I screamed like a child
My insides went wild
When I'm alone with you
You make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one, you are the one
And when I reach out and I only grab air
And it kills me to think that you never did care
And it's hopeless
You've always run off somewhere else
I'm throwing a tantrum
Why are you such a phantom?
When I'm alone with you
You make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one, you are the one
When I'm alone with you
You make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one, you are the one
Remind me of home
When you're around me
Next time you leave
Don't go without me
No, don't go
No, no
Yeah, yeah
(When I'm alone with you)
You make me feel, you make me feel
(When I'm alone with you)
You are the one, you are the one
(When I'm alone with you)
You make me feel, you make me feel
(When I'm alone with you)
You are the one, you are the one
You were gone in a flash
Like you always do
You've always gone off somewhere else
And when the phone rang
And I thought it was you
And I sprung like a kid who just got out of school
But it's almost always never you, never you
I screamed like a child
My insides went wild
When I'm alone with you
You make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one, you are the one
And when I reach out and I only grab air
And it kills me to think that you never did care
And it's hopeless
You've always run off somewhere else
I'm throwing a tantrum
Why are you such a phantom?
When I'm alone with you
You make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one, you are the one
When I'm alone with you
You make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one, you are the one
Remind me of home
When you're around me
Next time you leave
Don't go without me
No, don't go
No, no
Yeah, yeah
(When I'm alone with you)
You make me feel, you make me feel
(When I'm alone with you)
You are the one, you are the one
(When I'm alone with you)
You make me feel, you make me feel
(When I'm alone with you)
You are the one, you are the one

There need to be more comments on this song. Seriously. I love the way the music picks up at the chorus... the sound of the chorus is really different from the sound of the verses, and I dig that. And I love this girl's voice, it's got so much soul. As for the meaning, I think the song is basically about someone who the singer loves to spend time with - someone who makes her feel alive, comfortable, happy, etc. However, that person doesn't feel as strongly about her as she feels about them, and they are rarely there as much as she wants them to be. So, she finds herself waiting and wishing for them to be with her, wondering why they always seem to run off so quickly when she so desperately wants them to stay.
