Joshua Radin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Almost an hour now
And you watch me spin
My wheels around again
I've been walking
Hundreds of miles
Still I have so far to go
Till I can make you show me
I don't have to keep walking
Just have to lay here with you
Let me lay where I'm save, I don't want to
Run anymore
I don't wanna be the secret you keep
I don't want to
Hide anymore
I want you
I choose you
Maybe tomorrow
After we've woken
And those big blue eyes
Are bigger than half the size
Of pain and the sorrow
And all those broken seem so far away
We'll forget all our yesterdays
And I won't have to be lonely
Now that I'm with my one and only
Just have to lay here with me
Let me lay where I'm save, I don't want to
Run anymore
I don't wanna be the secret you keep
I don't want to
Hide anymore
I want you
I choose you
You have the eyes that I see, when I close mine
Bigger than oceans and brighter than sunshine
Let me lay where I'm save, I don't want to
Run anymore
I don't want be the secret you keep
I don't want to
Hide anymore
I want you
I choose you
The lyrics of Joshua Radin's One and Only center on the theme of finding safety and comfort in a romantic relationship.

Radin touches on the theme of emotional intimacy and how sometimes, we don't really have to talk or go to great lengths to feel close to someone.
The chorus reflects the singer's deepest concerns: feeling safe around the one he loves, not being hidden or kept as a secret, and most importantly, choosing his partner. The song paints a picture of two people coming together after a long period of loneliness and finding refuge in one another's presence. The lyrics are both beautiful and relatable, promising a long-term relationship that involves leaving behind the past and any hurtful memories associated with it.
Overall, Joshua Radin's One and Only is a song about resilience, healing, and finding love. It captures the essence of genuine emotion and attachment, all while offering a soothing melody as the soundtrack to its message.

I've been talking
I've been trying to communicate
Almost an hour now
For almost an hour now
And you watch me spin
And you wait as I struggle to express myself
My wheels around again
And repeat my thoughts over and over
I've been walking
I've been traveling
Hundreds of miles
For hundreds of miles
Still I have so far to go
I feel I have so much farther to go before I can achieve my goal
Till I can make you show me
Until I can make you reveal to me
That I don't have to keep talking
That I don't have to keep trying to communicate
I don't have to keep walking
That I don't have to keep traveling
Just have to lay here with you
All I have to do is be with you
Let me lay where I'm save, I don't want to
Let me feel safe and not want to
Run anymore
Run away anymore
I don't wanna be the secret you keep
I don't want to be kept a secret
I don't want to
I don't want to
Hide anymore
Hide anymore
I want you
I desire you
I choose you
I select you
Maybe tomorrow
Perhaps tomorrow
After we've woken
After we have awakened
And those big blue eyes
And those eyes that are big and blue
Are bigger than half the size
Appear to be larger than half their usual size
Of pain and the sorrow
Of the pain and sorrow
And all those broken seem so far away
And all of the broken things seem so far apart
We'll forget all our yesterdays
We'll cease to remember our past experiences
And I won't have to be lonely
And I won't have to be without companionship
Now that I'm with my one and only
Now that I'm with the only one I need
Just have to lay here with me
All you have to do is rest here with me
You have the eyes that I see, when I close mine
Your eyes are the ones I see when I close mine
Bigger than oceans and brighter than sunshine
They are larger than oceans and brighter than sunshine
I want you
I desire you
I choose you
I select you
