YOU LYRICS – WOOSEOK

[Verse 1]
The sun shining bright in the city
I’m feeling kinda dizzy, I’m sick of all the lights
But darling, tonight you’re so pretty
Oh you’re my Achilles
My double sided knife

[Verse 2]
I’m sorry I’ve been missing
Yeah my mind’s been racing
My cognition always beating overdrive
And it’s funny how I end up in the same place
Hedonic in the worst way
But I’ll be alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Cuz I see more than that
Need you but I’m holding back
For this I’d go to bat

[Chorus]
I just want you
I just want you
I’m driving westbound in the right lane
You’re still stuck in my brain
I just want you

[Verse 3]
The moon glowing up on the patio
We had too much alcohol
Doubling my sight
You came and you went like a cameo
Lost you in the afterglow
I needed respite

[Verse 2]
I’m sorry I’ve been missing
Yeah my mind’s been racing
My cognition always beating overdrive
And it’s funny how I end up in the same place
Hedonic in the worst way
But I’ll be alright

[Pre-Chorus]
Cuz I see more than that
Need you but I’m holding back
For this I’d go to bat
Cuz I see more than that
Need you but I’m holding back
For this I’d go to bat

[Chorus]
I just want you
I just want you
I’m driving westbound in the right lane
You’re still stuck in my brain
I just want you

[Pre-Chorus]
Cuz I see more than that
Need you but I’m holding back
For this I’d go to bat

[Chorus]
I just want you
Cuz I see more than that
Need you but I’m holding back
I just want you
