Am I Just One
Carey Ott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to tell you in my sleep that you inspire me
I want to paint you in a corner-colored gray
I want to argue make up over Kool-Aid
I want to meet you there and make you feel the same
What you do to me makes me think am I just one
What you do to me
You got a lot of things going on
You got a lot of things going on
You got a lot of things going on
Am I just one
Am I just one
Am I just one
I want to wake up with the dog at the doorjamb
I want to take you there and make sure you get home
It's all fine if you divvy up give it up
Does this environment make you feel at home?
What you do to me makes me think am I just one
What you do to me makes me think
You got a lot of things going on
You got a lot of things going on
You got a lot of things going on
Am I just one (one)
You got a lot of things going on
You got a lot of things going on
You got a lot of things going on
Am I just one
Am I just one




Am I just one
Am I just one
