One Hand
Leagues Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want the innocence, I think we lost it
A passing moment it just slipped away
I want the first kiss that gave a heart attack and we were laughing with our heads thrown back

CHORUS:

And there’s one hand waving come on and the other is pushing me away r
There’s one hand waving come on and the other pushing me away, away, away, away away-ay

You want the laughter
Something your after
Something you see but it can’t be me
I want the heartbreak
All of the pieces
All that you got
Come on give it to me
Ever since you looked into my eyes
Ever since it took us by surprise
Ever since you told me you’d be true
You been, you’ve been running for cover

CHORUS

Why can’t we stop fighting each other?
Let go of ourselves find & something better?
Why can’t we stop fighting each other?
Let go of our ourselves and find something better





CHORUS

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Leagues' song "One Hand" touch on the theme of conflict and miscommunication within a relationship. The singer expresses a desire to recapture the innocence and excitement of the early days of the relationship, symbolized by the "first kiss that gave a heart attack." However, there is a sense of frustration and confusion as one partner seems to be pushing the other away. The repeated phrase "one hand waving come on and the other pushing me away" highlights the push-pull dynamic of the relationship, with one partner seemingly torn between attraction and avoidance.


The second verse introduces a bit more complexity to the situation, as the other partner is revealed to be seeking something different from the relationship. They want "laughter" and "something they see, but it can't be me," while the singer wants "heartbreak" and all the emotions that come with it. This contrast underscores the communication breakdown in the relationship, with each partner not fully understanding the other's needs.


The chorus returns with its haunting refrain, emphasizing the conflict and tension inherent in the relationship. The final verse suggests that both partners need to let go of their own preconceptions and desires and work towards finding "something better" together. However, it is left somewhat ambiguous whether this reconciliation is possible or not.


Overall, "One Hand" is a beautifully written and emotionally resonant song that captures the complexities and challenges of romantic relationships. Its poetic lyrics and haunting melody make it a standout track from Leagues' discography.
