One in a Million
Jonathan Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All these dreams that you spoke were on top of your mind
And the shadows in the streets cast a solitary light
And the pictures you spoke of were wrapped up in your mind
Break me
Break me

And the feeling was dead inside of the skin
And the lines that you drew just so you'd know where you've been
But her eyes cut you like blood falling from a tree
Haunt me
Haunt me

I'm in awe
I'm in awe
I'm in awe

When she smiled I fell into an altar in the heart
And she breathed on me softly I was caught from the start
And she moved in my head like a flare from a star
I was caught

And thorns from a rose were all fallen from a gun
And the honey it fell like rain from the sun
And she fell on her knees I knew I was so undone
Teach me

I'm in awe
I'm in awe
I'm in awe

And the rain pours it down like honey from the sun
And my heart is entranced by all she has done
So I lay on the street thinking I am not the one
Teach me

I'm in awe




I'm in awe
I'm in awe

Overall Meaning

The song "One in a Million" by Jonathan Jackson is a beautiful representation of falling in love and feeling completely captivated by someone. The first verse begins by describing the dreams that the singer has heard from their love interest. The imagery of shadows in the street and solitary light create a sense of intimacy and longing, while the pictures "wrapped up in your mind" suggest that there's still more to discover about this person. The repeated refrain "break me" and "haunt me" hint at a sense of vulnerability and surrender to this love.


The bridge is where the singer declares being "in awe" of this person, and they recount the moment when they fell for them. The image of falling into an altar in the heart is powerful, as it suggests a strong emotional connection. The metaphor of her moving in his head like a flare from a star shows the impact this person has had on the singer's thoughts and emotions.


In the second verse, the singer continues to describe the intensity of their love, with thorns from a rose falling from a gun and honey falling like rain from the sun. The imagery here implies the bittersweet nature of the relationship. The final verse portrays the singer feeling unworthy of this love, but still eager to learn from it. The final refrain "I'm in awe" signifies the sense of wonder and reverence the singer feels towards this person.


Line by Line Meaning

All these dreams that you spoke were on top of your mind
You spoke of so many dreams that were always on your mind


And the shadows in the streets cast a solitary light
The shadows in the streets added to the sense of being alone


And the pictures you spoke of were wrapped up in your mind
The pictures you spoke of were all in your mind, just fantasies


Break me Break me
You could not stand the pain, so you wanted to be broken


And the feeling was dead inside of the skin
You were dead inside, with no feeling


And the lines that you drew just so you'd know where you've been
You drew lines just to remember where you've been, as if your life was a map


But her eyes cut you like blood falling from a tree
Her eyes hurt you deeply, like the shock of seeing blood fall from a tree


Haunt me Haunt me
You could not forget her, even if it meant being haunted by her memory


I'm in awe I'm in awe I'm in awe
You are amazed and filled with wonder


When she smiled I fell into an altar in the heart
When she smiled, you felt like you fell in love and were overcome with passion


And she breathed on me softly I was caught from the start
Her soft breath caught you from the beginning


And she moved in my head like a flare from a star
She filled your mind with brightness, like a flare from a star


I was caught
You were completely captivated by her


And thorns from a rose were all fallen from a gun
Even though you expected beauty, you were faced with danger and pain


And the honey it fell like rain from the sun
Despite the pain, the sweetness of her love was overwhelming


And she fell on her knees I knew I was so undone
When she fell on her knees, you knew you were completely lost to her


Teach me
You wanted to learn everything from her


And the rain pours it down like honey from the sun
Even in the midst of the storm, there is still sweetness to be found


And my heart is entranced by all she has done
Your heart is completely under her spell and captivated by all she has done


So I lay on the street thinking I am not the one
You feel unworthy of her love and lay in defeat on the street


Teach me
You still want to learn from her, to make yourself worthy of her love


I'm in awe I'm in awe I'm in awe
You are still filled with amazement and wonder at the power of her love
