She's the One
Mount Tyrant Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The way she moves like a tidal wave
Crashing down on top of me
Made love like nobody,
No one here is listening
Hold on to the way you move
I got a bone to pick
I got a lot to lose

Heart skips the way she watched me change
The way I ask her to stay
The way she looks with her hair down

Can′t stop her (?)
Let it go,
Let it fall under me
Under me
Wound up so tiring
Can't stop fighting
This love is exciting

She′s the only one for me
She's the one for me
She's the one for me
She′s the, She′s the
She's the one for me
She′s the one I need
She's the reason I can′t sleep alone

Care to live outside of time
Imaginary fight between
Arms and legs
Face is red
Baby go to war with me

To sink a beating heartbeat (?)
Oh can't you see
Let you go,
Let you fall under me, under me
Wrapped up so tightly
Can′t stop the fighting
Control is exciting

She's the only one for me
She's the one for me
She′s the one for me
She′s the, She's the
She′s the one for me
She's the one I need
She′s the reason I can't sleep alone

Hold fast and don′t let go
Was gone before, now I'm yours
The best love I've ever known
But I get my way, wanderlust

Hold fast and don′t let go
Was gone before, now I′m yours
The best love I've ever known
But I get my way, wanderlust

Can′t top and breathe (?)
I'm yours for the keeping

She′s the only one for me
She's the one for me
She′s the one for me
She's the, She's the
She′s the one for me

She′s the one I need
She's the reason I can′t sleep alone
