One Way
JAH-N-I Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I hope you don't mind
Right there for you)
I'll change my name
I'm in my brand new car
I don't know if we'll get that far
But if we do, I'll be right there
Right there for you
(Right there for you)
It's not you, it's always me
And that means nothing to me
It's not you, it's always me
And that means nothing to me
(One day)
I'll change my name
In my brand new car
I don't know if we'll get that far
But if we do, I hope you don't mind
Hope you don't mind
(Right there for you)
"It's not you, it's me"
That's the last thing a person like me
Would believe
(Yea, I don't believe
I don't believe)
(But I promise)
I'll change my name
Get a brand new car
One day we'll get that far
Yea, you and me, finally together




And I hope you won't mind
(I hope you don't mind)
