Only You Lyrics

[Verse 1: Perrie]
Dancing with your silhouette in the places that we met
Ooh, tryna find you in the moon
Paris never feels the same when the streets all call your name
Ooh, so I hide in crowded rooms

[Pre-Chorus: Leigh-Anne]
And I'll follow right down the river
Where the ocean meets the sky
To you, to you

[Chorus: Jade]
Once upon a time, we had it all
Somewhere down the line, we went and lost it
One brick at a time, we watched it fall
I'm broken here tonight and, darling, no one else can fix me
Only you, only you
Oh, no one else can fix me, only you
Only you, only you
Oh, no one else can fix me, only you, oh

[Post-Chorus: Jade]
Only you

[Verse 2: Jesy & Trevor, Jesy & Trevor & Leigh-Anne]
Did I let go of your hand for a castle made of sand?
Ooh, that fell into the blue
I went following the sun to be alone with everyone
Ooh
, looking 'round a crowded room
[Pre-Chorus: Leigh-Anne & Trevor]
And I'll follow right down the river
Where the ocean meets the sky
To you, to you

[Chorus: All, Trevor, Jade, Jesy, *Perrie & Trevor*]
Once upon a time, we had it all (We had it all; Mmm)
Somewhere down the line, we went and lost it (We went and lost it)
One brick at a time, we watched it fall (Fall)
I'm broken here tonight and, darling, no one else can fix me
Only you, only you (Yeah)
Oh, no one else can fix me, only you (Only you, yeah)
Only you (Nobody else), only you (Oh)
Oh, no one else can fix me, only you, *oh*

[Post-Chorus: Jade & Leigh-Anne, Perrie]
Only you
Falling, falling, falling, yeah

[Outro: All, Trevor, Perrie]
Only you (Only you), only you (Only you)
Oh, no one else can fix me, only you (Only you)
Only you (Oh; Only you), only you (Only you)
Oh, no one else can fix me, only you

What did Cheat Codes & Little Mix say about "Only You"?
Genius Answer

When we did “Only You” we wanted to tell a story that a lot of people are familiar with, like picturing love as your favorite movie and this is the final scene. You don’t want it to ever end but unfortunately there’s no way to rewind the footage, the memories of that love are all we hold. Only you is about that special someone that no matter where you are in the universe your stars still align.

We love Cheat Codes and are really excited about this track. We can’t wait for it to drop on Friday. It’s a feel good summer anthem and we hope you all love it as much as we do.
