Only One
Jr. Flynn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's about the journey
Not the destination
It's all above
Changed my status to taken
Adore your flaws
(Adore them)
That's what gives you perfection
You my main girl
You my side kick
There's no other girl
No side chick
I'm in love with you baby
I cannot hide it
No reason for me to lie
No reason for me to lie
(Lie)
Baby let me be your guide
I can show you a better life
I'm not the type to start simping
You got me falling in love I'm tripping
We can't go far from each other cause we start missin'
Lets not argue baby yeah no dissing
Baby stay close, uh don't go distant
For you beautiful I'll run the distance
I'll turn to a track star baby
You be there for me whenever it gets crazy
And I don't wanna move away from you
Guess I'm lazy
Only thing I want from you
Is not to hate me
I know I've made mistakes
But I'll never lie to your face
You my main girl
You my side kick
There's no other girl
No side chick
I'm in love with you baby
I cannot hide it
No reason for me to lie
No reason for me to lie
(Lie)
Baby let me be your guide
I can show you a better life
My heart was falling
(Falling)
You chose to be by my side
(By my side)
I'm all yours
And you're my life support
My hearts racing
(Race, race)




For you of course
For you of course

Consultin' with the rain
Reflecting on life and the world, much like the way rain cleans and nourishes the earth

Pence has one task: pardon Trump when he resigns.

NewhamMatt

This is the second time in a few days I've heard at least one of the crew lose it laughing at Rachel's interpretation of events. If they give her a studio audience, she could give Stephen Colbert a run for his money.

Pence has also been left out of the FBI interviews. The way a target of the investigation would be... I don't think blending into the wallpaper will save him.

Douglas Martin

As the saying goes, if you're not a source, you're a target.

“Blending into the wallpaper “.... 😂🤭💀🤪

Tominftl ThomasP

Pence is a weird guy. He knows more about the investigation than he will say.

Gwen30

How many meeting did the Republicans have without the press???? Trump invited the cameras in without telling the other party that they would be there. You gotta ask yourself why
did he do it??

Gwen30

The FBI needs to interview Mike Pence under oath lets see if he continues to lie and spin to the FBI!!!

Snowy Owl

Pence looks like what a satisfied Russian would look like watching chaos behind enemy lines.

Rose B

LOL
