One Shot Thrill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
for some reason i thought that you notice
i feel the chemicals change inside my brain
and they taste me places i can't explain
like a miracle, like i feel no pain
like the more i give you, the more you take
(now you're listening)
i've been waiting for so long
(now you're listening)
it's the only thing that i feel
the only thing that i need
(are you listening)
it's the only thing that i feel
the only thing that i need
(are you) listening
(are you) listening
listening
the only thing that i feel
the only thing that i need
the only reason i ... believe
the only thing that i feel
the only thing that i need
the only reason i ... believe
i feel the chemicals change inside my brain
and they taste me places i can't explain
like a miracle, like i feel no pain
like the more i give you, the more you take
(it's the only thing that i feel
the only thing that i need)
like the more i give you, the more you take
like the more i give you, the more you take
(more you take)
it's the only thing that i feel
the only thing that i need
it's the only thing that i feel
the only thing that i need

The verse following the chorus opens with the longing expression, "I've been aching for so long," followed by the singer acknowledging that the person is finally listening. The second chorus repeats the idea of the person being the only thing the singer feels and needs while challenging the person if they are listening.
