The Only Ones
Mike E. Clark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are the one for me I don't think you know it yet
You are the one for me though we've never even met
I can tell by the way you looked at me the other night
Something tells me I'm the only

We both got somebody that don't matter anymore
'Cause everybody's playing there's no one left to keep the score
It could be a lost weekend in the mountains or at the shore
Something tells me I'm the only one around for you
In this town for you, it's coming down for you and me

I know you're trying to get by and you don't seem to care
The way you pretend not to look as your hand falls through your hair
Well I just wanted to say sorry I don't mean to stare
Something tells me I'm the only one around for you
In this town for you, it's coming down for you and me

I'm the only
I'm the only
I'm the only




I'm the only one
I'm the only one

Overall Meaning

In Mike E. Clark's song The Only Ones, the lyrics speak to the perspective of someone who sees themselves as the perfect match for another person, despite never having met them before. The singer admits that the other person may not yet realize their true feelings, but they can tell from the way they were looked at the other night that they are meant to be together. The lyrics suggest that both parties in the relationship may have recently ended other relationships that didn't matter anymore, leaving them open to the possibility of something new. The singer proposes that they spend a lost weekend together in the mountains or at the shore, just the two of them, as they see themselves as the only ones who are truly meant for each other in their town.


The lyrics go on to express the singer's empathy for the other person and their struggles, acknowledging that everyone has their own burdens to bear. However, the singer also apologizes for staring at the other person, suggesting that they can't help their attraction and connection to them. The repeated refrain of "I'm the only one" emphasizes the singer's conviction that they are meant to be with this other person and nobody else.


Overall, The Only Ones is a song about the unshakable feeling of destiny and connection between two people, even in the absence of a formal introduction or relationship. The lyrics suggest a willingness to take risks and pursue this feeling, even if it means leaving behind the past and throwing caution to the wind.
