I Wanna Be the One Lyrics

Lyric discussion by diablos3 

Cover art for I Wanna Be the One lyrics by fun.

When Nate was with The Format, he has a section on their website titled Dear Nate, where people could ask him questions and he would answer. Somebody asked him for some lyrics from the new format album, and he responded with

"All the muscles in my mouth never smiled or said profound things Until the day she handed you to me"

So he's been working on this song for quite some time.

He also talked about how he was very excited because he had just become an uncle, so I'm pretty certain that this song is about his niece/nephew (I can't remember which one he has).
