Dreams stay with you
Always on my mind
I got a lust for life
Seasons bring truth
When I found mine
It was summertime
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the middle of the night, and I'm so gone
And I'm thinking about how much I need you
But you really want somebody else
Should be given the right to carry on
I'm still thinking about how much I need you
But you really want somebody else
[Chorus]
You're not the one
Guess you're not the one
[Verse 2]
Streets like a zoo
Through a city of lights
Love at first sight
Silent rays of blue
They slowly glide
Right down my spine
It's the middle of the night, and I'm so gone
And I'm thinking about how much I need you
But you really want somebody else
Should be given the right to carry on
I'm still thinking about how much I need you
But you really want somebody else
[Chorus]
You're not the one
Guess you're not the one
You're not the one
Guess you're not the one
[Bridge]
I was enjoying the ride
And now we're standing on the graveside
Left unsatisfied
I won't even bother to fight, I know
You're not the one
You're not the one
You're not the one
You're not the one
[Chorus]
You're not the one
Guess you're not the one
You're not the one
Guess you're not the one

“The production is super-inspired by Low by David Bowie, I wanted to make a super-poppy version. Like not when you’re rolling up your car windows because you don’t want anyone to know you’re listening to it. Like trying to hide it in your iTunes. Ariel had the idea. People say it sounds like Siouxsie Sioux. I guess the song was originally about a relationship when you’re not chasing after them. You know they’re kind of fucked up. It’s like a game of cat and mouse. They’re interested but not interested enough and it’s not fair. That’s basically what it should be called, ‘It’s Not Fair.‘”
