One & Only
Joosuc & D.O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got a habit of chasing after what's never mine
Cause you and I, we've both got problems when it comes to trust
It feels like there's somebody watching when it's just the two of us
Cause we know that we won't make it far
And I know that I try too hard
And you never want to open up
And that's the problem with us
My mind's a mess, you fucked me up
Now I only call you when I'm drunk
Pour me another, another shot inside my cup
I'm spilling wine inside the tub
Now I only call you when I'm drunk
We've been out of touch since the last time you came
I should know by now that people never change
Cause you don't know that you have a way of making me feel small
And that's the reason why you never hear from me when I've got no one left to call
Cause I know we'll be happy someday
When we forget each other's names
Cause we're only good for just one night
We ran out of time
I only call you, I only call you when I'm drunk
My mind's a mess, you fucked me up
Now I only call you when I'm drunk
Pour me another, another shot inside my cup
I'm spilling wine inside the tub
Now I only call you when I'm drunk
I feel it flowing through my veins, I can't get you out my brain
I don't wanna be sober, cause that means we're over
I feel it flowing through my veins, I can't get you out my brain
I don't wanna be sober, cause that means we're over
I only call you, I only call you when I'm drunk
My mind's a mess, you fucked me up
Now I only call you when I'm drunk
Pour me another, another shot inside my cup
I'm spilling wine inside the tub
Now I only call you when I'm drunk
The lyrics of the song One & Only by Joosuc & D.O reflect the feelings of two people who keep coming back to each other despite their previous experiences. The song tells the story of two people who have been in a roller coaster relationship and cannot seem to stay away from each other. They both have issues with trust, especially when it comes to their relationship, and it seems like they are always looking over their shoulders. The singer is haunted by memories of the past, which he remembers every time he gets drunk. However, they both realize that their relationship will not last long because they are not comfortable with being vulnerable around each other.
The chorus emphasizes the theme of drunkenness and the consequences that come with it. The singer admits that he calls his partner only when he is drunk and feeling lonely. He uses it as a coping mechanism to forget his problems for a short while. The lines 'My mind's a mess, you fucked me up' show the emotional trauma he has experienced, and he blames it on his lover. He drinks to numb the pain and forget about the things that have gone wrong in his life. The reference to spilling wine in the shower shows how much he needs to escape from reality. It is only when he is drunk that he can call his partner, but he knows that is not the long-term solution.
Overall, the song One & Only is a poignant reflection of the complicated nature of relationships. It highlights the impact of emotional trauma, trust issues, and the temptation of using alcohol as a coping mechanism. Though the two lovers keep finding their way back to each other, they know that it is not sustainable in the long run.

I'm been having a flashback to when you spent the night
I am reminiscing about a past encounter when you stayed over
I've got a habit of chasing after what's never mine
I tend to pursue things that cannot be mine
Cause you and I, we've both got problems when it comes to trust
Both you and I struggle with trust issues in our relationship
It feels like there's somebody watching when it's just the two of us
In our private moments, it seems like there is an external presence watching us
Cause we know that we won't make it far
We acknowledge that our relationship is not sustainable
And I know that I try too hard
I am aware that I put in too much effort into our relationship
And you never want to open up
You are unwilling to express your true feelings to me
And that's the problem with us
This is the root of our issues
I only call you, I only call you when I'm drunk
I only reach out to you when I am intoxicated
My mind's a mess, you fucked me up
My thoughts are scattered and you are the reason for that
Now I only call you when I'm drunk
I am not interested in communicating with you unless I am inebriated
Pour me another, another shot inside my cup
Please give me more alcohol to drink
I'm spilling wine inside the tub
I am making a mess with my drink in the bathtub
We've been out of touch since the last time you came
We have not communicated since your last visit
I should know by now that people never change
I am aware that people do not alter their behavior easily
Cause you don't know that you have a way of making me feel small
You are not aware that you make me feel inferior
And that's the reason why you never hear from me when I've got no one left to call
I only resort to contacting you when I have no one else to reach out to
Cause I know we'll be happy someday
I have convinced myself that we will eventually find happiness
When we forget each other's names
Once we are no longer involved with each other, we will move on
Cause we're only good for just one night
Our relationship is only meaningful for a single encounter
We ran out of time
Our relationship has exhausted its chance to succeed
I feel it flowing through my veins, I can't get you out my brain
I am still fixated on you and cannot stop thinking about you
I don't wanna be sober, cause that means we're over
I do not want to be sober as it marks the end of our relationship
I only call you, I only call you when I'm drunk
I only contact you when I am intoxicated
Pour me another, another shot inside my cup
Please provide me with more alcohol
I'm spilling wine inside the tub
I am making a mess with my drink in the bathtub
Now I only call you when I'm drunk
I am not interested in communicating with you unless I am inebriated
