Square One
Jessie J Lyrics

Roll the dice, double two, no more us, no me and you
Taking a chance on the roll of the dice, it resulted in failure with no hope of a future together.

What a struggle, I took a risk, another life, another kiss
The pain that comes with the risks of love and finding oneself back in the same place, with the kiss of another.

I start again, it keeps going, we're best friends, not even knowing
Starting anew with the same pattern of falling back into a friendship with no romantic connection made.

I win the race, and then I fall, I gave it up, to have it all
Achievement followed by downfall, willingly sacrificing what was gained to pursue something desired.

We let go of love so we can go again
End of one relationship to open up opportunities for the next.

We don't hesitate to let somebody in
Quick to open up and embrace the potential of love with another person.

To build a home just to get lost
Building a connection that eventually fails and leaves one feeling lost and directionless.

We fire it up just to burn it off
Investing in passion and desire, only for it to fizzle out and leave one feeling empty.

I don't wanna, hold hands with a stranger.
Not interested in meaningless connections, preferring something deeper.

I don't wanna walk when I just learned how to run.
Not willing to settle for less, after finally experiencing something greater.

I don't wanna care, 'cause it's human nature
Accepting the inevitability of getting hurt by love and relationships, and trying to remain detached.

I don't wanna go go go go back to square one.
Not wanting to repeat the pattern of failed relationships and starting over from scratch.

Said she don't don't wanna go back to square one
Repeating the desire to avoid going back to failed connections and starting from the beginning.

In the dark, it's brand new
Trying to experience something new and different, even if it's in the unknown.

You're teaching me, I'm teaching you
Learning from each other, a mutual exchange of experiences.

Imagination, I wanna please
Looking to create something special and unique, trying to make the relationship work.

But I'm tired of the tease
Growing weary of the ups and downs of emotional connection, feeling unsatisfied.

Give you substance, I need soul
Seeking depth and meaning beyond just a physical connection, wanting a connection with meaning and depth.

Not just a moment to come and go
Seeking something more long-lasting and substantial than just a fleeting moment of passion or connection.

It's not simple, it never is
Recognizing the complexity of emotions and relationships, and how difficult it can be to find something meaningful and lasting.

She says she don't wanna go go back to square one, she just wanna find the one someone that she needs, she needs, she needs.
Reiterating the desire to move past failed relationships and find the right person for a meaningful and lasting connection.

Everybody sing she don't wanna go go back to square one, she just wanna find the one someone that she needs, she needs, she needs.
Encouraging others to join in the search for a meaningful connection and avoid repeating past mistakes.
