I Wanna Be the One
fun. Lyrics

Were you named for the river that surrounds
Are you named after the river that symbolizes my mistakes or the path that led me to redemption.

All my biggest my mistakes or the way that I made it out
Whether my name symbolizes my past mistakes or my journey to overcome them.

All the muscles in my mouth never smiled or said profound things
I was never able to express my emotions or articulate anything significant until I held you in my arms.

Until the day she handed you to me
My life changed when I held you for the first time, and I knew I wanted to be there for every step you take and every obstacle you overcome.

I wanna be the one to put in a song
I want to immortalize your journey by capturing it in music.

Take every single tear for all the world to hear
Every tear you shed, every emotion you feel, I want the world to hear about it through my music.

Cigarettes are raining hard on the Upper East Side
The world is full of tragedies and disasters, and it seems like there is no escape or respite from it.

She brings me a cake we celebrate I have arrived
Despite all the hardships, we find reasons to celebrate, and your arrival is one of those reasons for me.

And I know that it's been sang before but you're my human holiday
Other people may have written about love before, but to me, you embody the joy, happiness, and celebration that comes with a holiday.

I put my hands to the table and dare say the love of my life
I declare that you are the love of my life, and I want to cherish you forever.

And your brother with his best friend
Your sibling and their friend have the same name, which is a coincidence that I find amusing.

Shares a name I'm gonna need
It's ironic that they share a name, and I may need some time to process this coincidence.

Really couldn't bring me down
Despite the odd discovery, it doesn't dampen my spirits or the love I feel in my heart.

Clever comes in truth when truth begets the past
When we confront our past head-on and accept it, we can derive wisdom from it.

Its sends its call out to the moon
Our truth echoes to the universe, and the moon represents the celestial entity that hears and responds to our call.

And the moon can see the beauty that surrounds your heart as it pounds
The universe sees the beauty in your heart as you overcome challenges and persevere.

It starts the beat inspiring me until I make the sound
That inspiration translates into music that captures your heart's rhythm and inspires others to keep moving forward.

I wanna be the one
I want to be the one to capture your journey in music, immortalize it in art and celebrate your victories with the world.

I wanna be one
I want to be the one you turn to during difficult times, the one who supports and loves you unconditionally.

I wanna be the one
I want to be the one who helps you find your voice, discover your path, and live a life you're proud of.
