[Verse 1]
The first time
I saw the fire in your eyes
I'd never really been tongue-tied
Until I fell into you
By design
I'm not too good at openin' my mind
I used to let myself down all the time
Until I fell into you
[Pre-Chorus]
And you illuminate this town
With your streetlight symphony
Yeah, you took this boy and you turned him around
Yeah, you made a man out of me, 'cause
[Chorus]
You are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are
[Post-Chorus]
You are, you are what I've been waitin' my whole life for, mmm
You are, you are what I've been waitin' my whole life for, oh-oh, oh
[Verse 2]
The first time
I saw you in the sun, I nearly died
I told myself I'd have to sacrifice
That's when I fell into you, mmm
Lifeline
You threw me one, but I was out my mind
I'd always come back with another lie
So now I'm tellin' the truth, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
And you illuminate this town
With your streetlight symphony
Yeah, you took this boy and you turned him around
Yeah, you made a man out of me, 'cause
[Outro]
You are, you are (Yeah)
You are, you are (Yeah, yeah)
You are, you are (Yeah)
You are, you are (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause you are, you are (What I've been waitin' my whole life for)
You are, you are
'Cause you are, you are (What I've been waitin' my whole life for, oh)
You are, you are
