One Thing lyrics

What, where am I?

What's life like on a train

Nobody there knows your name

As your decision changed

Do you wish that I came

I thought you'd pick me up from work

I waited for your truck for half hour

I know you said you gonna

But I never thought you'd leave

This one thing that was made for us

Chasing us, saving us

I take one thing over everything

I take that thing over anybody

Square face and puppy eyes

Found out they never lied

Your old man lived in the sky

Left your house with a yard

But you went away a different try

Found a place that's your size

Too good to finish life here with me

I couldn't get you to say

Why you wouldn't let me come

What should be simple just ain't

And it shouldn't hurt like it does

This one thing is made for us

Won't stay with us, it ain't saving us

But I'll take one thing over everything

I'll take that thing over anybody

Baby, hold me, don't pick me up

I need a compliment

Just a touch from a friend

I need a gentle word

I need your company

I'll keep

One thing that was made for us

Chasing us, saving us

I take one thing over anything

I take that thing over anybody

I take one thing over everything

I take that thing over anybody

Oh, oh, anything

Oh, oh, take one thing
