In the moments when I hear my voice but don’t feel like myself
Wish I could hold you
It’s only you
In the moments when I walk these city streets with someone else
I wish I told you
It’s only you
Oh you
Only you
When the night is over, out of all the places I could choose
I go to you
Only you
Feel you just below the surface, darling, all I wanna do is
Go to you
I go to you
I go to you
There were times when you would reach out for a little more of me
Now I can see how much it hurt when I stood still
But I’m learning what it’s like to open up a different side
‘Cause when something hurts this much, I know it’s real
Oh you
Only you
When the night is over, out of all the places I could choose
I go to you
Only you
Feel you just below the surface, darling, all I wanna do is
Go to you
I go to you
Feel you just below the surface and I’m getting on with getting through
‘Cause things are good and getting better
Holding on until forever doesn’t seem to feel so far away
Oh you, only you
Feel you just below the surface, darling, all I wanna do is
Go to you
I go to you
I go to you
I go to you
I go to you
I go to you
I go to you
I go to you
Yearning and Vulnerability in “You”
“You” by benny blanco is a heartfelt exploration of longing and emotional connection. The lyrics center around the persistent ache of missing someone special, even when surrounded by others.

The repetition of “I go to you” underscores a sense of inevitability—the person is a safe haven and the only true solace. The song beautifully captures the struggle to open up emotionally, acknowledging the pain but also recognizing its authenticity. Ultimately, “You” is an intimate confession of love’s enduring pull, even through the challenges of distance and personal growth.
