Lyrics
I had my head set on the negatives
I was focused on the negative aspects
Gettin' too much sleep 'cause I kept sinkin' deep
Sleeping excessively due to sinking into deep thoughts
In my own thoughts made of quicksand
My thoughts felt like quicksand, difficult to escape
Never thought that I would get up again
Didn't expect to recover or move forward
That's where I went wrong
Admits a mistake or regret
I just needed you all along, you all along
Realization that the presence of someone (you) was needed all along
That's where I went wrong
Acknowledging the error of not recognizing the need for someone earlier
I just needed you all along, long, long
Reiteration of needing someone (you) for a long time
You make me believe in somethin' greater
You (the person) instill belief in something greater
Just the way you are
Appreciation for the person just as they are
And I can fin'lly see the bigger picture
Ability to see a broader perspective because of the person
Written in the stars
Fate or destiny depicted metaphorically as "written in the stars"
You make me believe, you make me believe
Reaffirmation of the person making the speaker believe
No condition's too critical
No situation is too critical with the support of the person
And I'm more relaxed knowin' you got my back
Feeling more at ease knowing the person has their back
So long, Mr. Cynical!
Farewell to a cynical mindset due to the positive influence of the person
'Cause with you I'm invincible
Feeling unbeatable or strong with the person's presence
Never steer me wrong
Acknowledging another mistake or realization
I just needed you all along, long, long
Reiteration of needing the person for a long time
You make me believe in somethin' greater
Continued belief in something greater because of the person
Just the way you are
Appreciation for the person just as they are (repeated theme)
And I can fin'lly see the bigger picture
Ability to see a broader perspective due to the person (repeated theme)
Written in the stars (you make me believe)
Fate or destiny depicted metaphorically as "written in the stars" (repeated theme)
You make me wanna dance all night 'til the sun comes up
The person inspires joy and a desire to dance and celebrate
Make me act a fool like it's only us
The person makes the speaker act carefree as if no one else matters
And scream in the streets at the top of our lungs
Expressing freedom and happiness with the person
Do whatever we want because
A sense of liberation and fearlessness with the person
You make me believe, you make me believe
Reiteration of the person making the speaker believe
No, you've never let me down
The person has never disappointed the speaker
You picked me up off of the ground
The person has provided support and uplifted the speaker
And anything can happen now
An optimistic outlook on the future due to the influence of the person
Because you make me believe
Belief that anything is possible because of the person
You make me wanna dance all night 'til the sun comes up
Reiteration of the joy and desire to dance with the person
Make me act a fool like it's only us (you make me believe)
Reiteration of acting carefree and believing with the person
And scream in the streets at the top of our lungs
Expressing freedom and happiness with the person (repeated theme)
Do whatever we want because
A sense of liberation and fearlessness with the person (repeated theme)
You make me believe, you make me believe
Final reiteration of the person making the speaker believe
You make me believe, you make me believe
Continued affirmation of belief and trust in the person
You make me believe
Final affirmation of the person's impact on the speaker's belief
