“Black RMs” is the penultimate song on Alex Lahey’s sophomore album, The Best of Luck Club. In the tradition of her past songs, she sings about a relationship in terms of distance and longing. The lyrics are full of specific details that highlight the intimacy of the relationship.
[Verse 1]
I can't wait to have you back again
From your cowlick to your black RMs
Oh, you’re the only one for me
You say you're normal, but you're one of a kind
When I think about my future I’ve got you in mind
Oh, you're the only one for me
[Pre-Chorus]
I cross my heart 'cause I won't ever stray
You've got me wrapped around your finger and then back again
And you deserve to know the way I feel
When I watch you use your thighs to turn the steering wheel
[Chorus]
Oh, you're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
You’re the only one for me
[Verse 2]
Your early starts and your little quirks
I leave haikus on your bed for when you’re home from work
Oh, you're the only one for me
[Pre-Chorus]
You say days are long and mostly they are
I miss you till I see you and that won’t be far
And you deserve to know the way I feel
When you lick your finger before you peruse the menu
[Chorus]
Oh, you're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
You’re the only one for me
[Verse 3]
You make me laugh, we can talk all night
I think it's time you got that return long-haul flight
Oh, you're the only one for me
[Pre-Chorus]
I need your sleepy eyes and your sinning mouth
Send me your drunk messages when you go out
You deserve to know the way I feel
'Cause after all these years, it turns out you're the real deal
[Chorus]
Oh, you're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
[Outro]
You're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
You're the only one for me
