This One Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I recall the way she looked the first time we met
Short brown hair and a red rain jacket
Oh, how could I forget?
The voice inside my head said, "Oh my Lord"
She kissed me and I opened up my eyes
A better way of waking up, I'll never find
The words inside my mind, mmm-hmm
[Chorus]
She said, "Where you wanna go now?"
I said, "I'm easy, darling, you know I've never been to this town"
She said, "Why you gotta go now?"
I'm looking at her smile, I'm thinking
"Man, I better hold on to this one"
[Post-Chorus]
I hope I can hold on to this one
I hope I can hold on to this one, mmm-hmm
[Verse 2]
The voice inside my heart said, "Oh my Lord"
A better way of waking up, I'll never find, mmm-hmm
[Chorus]
She said, "Where you wanna go now?"
I said, "I'm easy, darling, you know I've never been to this town"
She said, "Where we gonna go now?"
I'm looking at her face, I'm thinking
"Man, I'm pretty fond to this one"
She asked, "Why you gotta go now?"
I'm looking at her smile, I'm thinking
"Man, I better hold on to this one"
[Post-Chorus]
I hope I can hold on to this one
I hope I can hold on to this one
I hope I can hold on to this one, mmm-hmm
[Outro]
The words inside my mind
I recall the way she looked the first we met
Short brown hair and a red rain jacket
Oh, how could I forget? Mmm-hmm

What did Vance Joy say about "This One"?
It’s a true story. The red rain jacket and the short brown hair in the lyrics, that’s about the first time I met my girlfriend. It has some moments that are real and autobiographical, but also some embellishments, and the song can take on a life of its own. I like the line about ‘a better way of wak...
