The Only One Lyrics
[Intro]
All the tuna fish are singing
In a tuna afternoon
Quack, quack, quack
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
You know you're not the only one
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
[Verse 1]
When they all come crashing down
Midflight
You know you're not the only one
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
When they're so alone, they find
A back door out of life
You know you're not the only one
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
[Pre-Chorus]
We're all grieving
Lost and bleeding
[Chorus]
All our lives
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
All your lies
I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
[Verse 2]
So afraid to open your eyes
Hypnotized
You know you're not the only one
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
Never understood this life
And you're right, I don't deserve
But you know I'm not the only one
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
[Pre-Chorus]
We're all grieving
Lost and bleeding
[Chorus]
All our lives
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
All your lies
I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
[Bridge]
Don't look down
Don't look into the eyes of the world beneath you (Me)
Don't look down
You'll fall down
You'll become their sacrifice
Right or wrong
Can't hold onto the fear that I'm lost without you
If I can't feel
I'm not mine
I'm not real (Me)
[Chorus]
All our lives
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader (Me)
All your lies
I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
