[Intro]
Are you alone?
[Verse 1]
This that quarter life crisis over borderline
Trauma that control my life more than I control my life
Damn near mortified, I just got demoralized
I don't know my purpose so I might as well enjoy the ride
Yuh, uh, bona fide, stop complainin', loner type
Tryna shift the culture type, just like I'm supposed to type
Stay-at-home composer, no exposure to no open light
Make a song and hope that y'all support it type
[Chorus]
The one and lonely (Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah)
Yup, the one and lonely (Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah)
Yup, the one and lonely (Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah)
Yup, the one and lonely (Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah)
Woop
[Verse 2]
5 A.M. again, check my phone and check again
It's gone take another couple hours 'til I leave my bed
Hair uneven and it's gone be that way until the motherfuckin' evenin'
I don't plan on leavin' then
Yup, leanin' in, thinkin' if we got together, I won't let her leave again
Wonder if she thinkin' that
Peep my exes socials, talkin' 'bout how she don't need a man
Trip about it 'til I fall asleep again
[Chorus]
The one and lonely (Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah)
Yup, the one and lonely (Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah)
Yup, the one and motherfuckin' lonely (Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah)
Yup, the one and lonely (Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah)
Yuh, okay
[Bridge]
Okay, okay
Okay, okay-okay
Okay, okay-okay
Okay, okay-okay
Okay, okay-okay
Okay, okay-okay
Okay, okay-okay
Ever been so alone, all you hear is white noise?
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh (The one and–)
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

This track is about creating art in the void of loneliness, intensified during the last year with the forced isolation of the pandemic and navigating my growing success. In this void, the pressure to create has turned into a distracting white noise as I recognize that I am truly ‘the One and Lonely....
