One Lyrics by Amy Allen

2021

[Verse 1]
The good days are melting
The icecaps are gone
The popstar's in Heaven
The right turned to wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's a steep slope, it's a hell-no
It's a hangup on the telephone, you see?
That it's a one day, it's a survey
It's a cluster-fuck on the freeway, you see?
The odds are against me

[Chorus]
But I try to take the world in my hands
Change what they say I can't understand
I try and I try
Just to prove 'em all wrong
But my arms ain't that strong
Goddamn

[Post-Chorus]
Thought that I'd be the one
Thought that I'd be the one

[Verse 2]
The kids are the parents
The schools are a war zone
Hallways are empty
We're all running with nowhere to go

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And it's a high risk, it's a bad gig
When you're a small fish on a long swim upstream (Oh, yeah)
And it's a ten-page stupid survey
It's the red tape in the doorway, you see?
The odds are against me

[Chorus]
But I try to take the world in my hands
Change what they say I can't understand
I try and I try
Just to prove 'em all wrong
But my arms ain't that strong
Goddamn

[Post-Chorus]
Thought that I'd be the one
Thought that I'd be the one
Thought that I'd be the one
Thought that I'd be the one

[Bridge]
Tell me we're not letting go
Losing time and losing hope
Oh, there's so much I still don't know
I, I, I

[Chorus]
But I try to take the world in my hands
Change what they say I can't understand
I try and I try
Just to prove 'em all wrong
But my arms ain't that strong
Goddamn

[Post-Chorus]
Thought that I'd be the one
Thought that I'd be the one (Oh yeah)
Thought that I'd be the one
Thought that I'd be the one (Oh yeah)

[Outro]
The good days are melting
The icecaps are gone
