Only One
Alex Max Band (The Calling) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The canvas of my soul
Is slowly breaking down, again
Today I heard the news
The stories getting old
When will we see the end?
Of the days, we bleed, for what we need
To forgive, forget, move on
One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not for sake us
Only One
Only One
(Only one)
The writing's on the wall
Those who came before
Left pictures frozen still, in time
You say you want it all
But whose side you fighting for?
I sit and wonder why
There are nights, we sleep, while others they weep
With regret, repent, be strong
Cause we've got
One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not for sake us
Only One
Only One
Just you and I
Under one sky
One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not for sake us
Only One
Only One
One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not for sake us
Only One
Only One

My eyes are painted red
I am emotionally drained and tired
The canvas of my soul
My inner self
Is slowly breaking down, again
I am losing hope and giving up on myself
Today I heard the news
I was informed about something today
The stories getting old
We are tired of hearing this news over and over again
When will we see the end?
When will this cycle of bad news stop?
Of the days, we bleed, for what we need
We struggle and suffer for what we want
To forgive, forget, move on
We should let go and move forward
Cause we've got
We have
One life to live
We have one chance to live our lives
One love to give
We have one chance to show love and kindness
One chance to keep from falling
We have one chance to succeed and not fail
One heart to break
We can hurt others with our actions and intents
One soul to take us
Our soul's journey is eternal
Not for sake us
Not for our own benefit
Only One
We only have one chance
The writing's on the wall
It is obvious
Those who came before
The people who lived before us
Left pictures frozen still, in time
Their legacy remains in the world
You say you want it all
You claim to desire everything
But whose side you fighting for?
Whose interests are you representing?
I sit and wonder why
I am pondering about something
There are nights, we sleep, while others they weep
While we are resting, others are struggling
With regret, repent, be strong
We must acknowledge our wrongdoing, seek forgiveness, and move on
Just you and I
Only the two of us
Under one sky
Living together in the same world
One life to live
We have one chance to live our lives
One love to give
We have one chance to show love and kindness
One chance to keep from falling
We have one chance to succeed and not fail
One heart to break
We can hurt others with our actions and intents
One soul to take us
Our soul's journey is eternal
Not for sake us
Not for our own benefit
Only One
We only have one chance
One life to live
We have one chance to live our lives
One love to give
We have one chance to show love and kindness
One chance to keep from falling
We have one chance to succeed and not fail
One heart to break
We can hurt others with our actions and intents
One soul to take us
Our soul's journey is eternal
Not for sake us
Not for our own benefit
Only One
We only have one chance
