“You” is the fourth track off A Great Big World’s upcoming third studio album. It is a tender love ballad centered around finding someone who makes everything seem to fall into place. Its composition is simple yet warm, primarily a guitar and violins.
[Verse 1]
Way beyond the stars was a dream there waiting
For a dreamer to dream her
Barely just a spark in the open darkness of the ether
The world beneath her
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I never could imagine
How my life would change the day you came
And how all my fears and worries would just wash away
[Chorus]
I never saw it coming, then one day all of a sudden
There was you, you, you, you
I don't have to live without you anymore
[Verse 2]
How could it be so, that a heartless fool
Could burst wide open, be re-awoken?
Little did I know, what a simple thought could set in motion
A drop in the ocean
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've never seen the flowers or a sky so blue, it's all brand new
Like the sun on the horizon coming into view
[Chorus]
I spent my whole life running, then one day all of a sudden
There was you, you, you, you
There was you, you, you, you
I don't have to live without you anymore
[Chorus]
I never saw it coming, then one day all of a sudden
There was you, you, you, you
There was you, you, you, you
I don't have to live without you anymore
[Outro]
I don't have to live without you anymore
