One Another
Mac DeMarco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feelin' so confused
You don't know what to do
Afraid she might not love you anymore
And though she says she does
And hasn't lost your trust
Who could that be knockin' at her door?

Must be another one
Must be another one she loves
Must be another one
Must be another one she loves

The feelin' never stops
And neither does the clock
Wishin' for tomorrow today
She still says she's true
So you start comin' to
Just as that old knockin' comes to stay

Must be another one
Must be another one she loves




Must be another one
Must be another one she loves

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Hey kid, everybody's prone to some mistakes
If you'd always kept it straight, you'd never learn
You'd run the risk of all the risks you take
Don't feel like all the time you put in went to waste
The way your heart was beating all those days
And suddenly it beats another pace

[Chorus]
It's not like you never tried to forget her
But these days are better without one another

[Verse 2]
Hey man, so now you've got it off your chest
Your heart can finally get some rest
Same heart that started this whole mess
And although a broken heart needs time to mend
Yours wasn't ever really broken, was it?
In losing love you gain a friend

[Chorus]
It's not like you never tried to forget her
But these days are better without one another

[Outro]
Without one another
Without one another
Without one another
