The One

Everything is sinking
I think I've known it from
The moment that I saw you in your corduroys
Can you tell I'm thinking
Of all the jokes we're yet to make
And I can't wait to call me yours, boy
All I taste are roses
I ask your name and feel my center of gravity
Take flight
And settle on your backbone
I think I'll know forever more that any other glow is fake light

Now I've seen you
I've seen it all

You know I'll dream about waking up
Knowing I know you
It's this lightning bolt of not enough
When I have to say "see you soon"
And I'll dance around my bedroom
Singing out of key
That I've found the one, the one, the one, the one
Who's gonna dance with me

Suddenly I'm floating
And I see sunrise and a hand that'll take mine when time goes black
And I'm bad at hoping
So I'll throw my very best attempts at him
And hope he throws his back
I wanna meet your mother
I wanna write a thousand accolades to your hair and the gap in your front teeth
I wanna say I love ya
And I know it's crazy how the words I used to prison guard so suddenly fly free

Now I've seen you
I've seen it all

You know I'll dream about waking up
Knowing I know you
It's this lightning bolt of not enough
When I have to say "see you soon"
And I'll dance around my bedroom
Singing out of key
That I've found the one, the one, the one, the one
Who's gonna dance with me

I wanna know your birthday
I wanna know your favourite colour
I felt an earthquake
The first time I heard your laughter
I hope to death you haven't got someone waiting on you
Coz I know I left my reason and my pride beneath my bed oh
I wanna pinkie promise
And have you know how much I mean it
I wanna know that honest
Doesn't connote who spoke the meanest
And now I'm dancing round my bedroom in my dressing gown, and damn
The only song left in my head is how I finally understand
The words I've written
They were waiting for you

You know I'll dream about waking up
Knowing I know you
It's this lightning bolt of not enough
When I have to say "see you soon"
And I'll dance around my bedroom
Singing out of key
That I've found the one, the one, the one, the one
You know I'll dream about waking up
Knowing I know you
It's this lightning bolt of not enough
When I have to say "see you soon"
And I'll dance around my bedroom
Singing out of key
That I've found the one, the one, the one, the one
Who's gonna dance with me
