Only One
Oxxxymiron feat. Paul McCartney Lyrics

As I lay me down to sleep
As I prepare to rest, reflecting on my day

I hear her speak to me
I hear an inner voice, possibly a higher being, speaking to me

Hello 'Mari, how ya doin'?
Greetings, inner self; how are you today?

I think the storm ran out of rain, the clouds are movin'
The tumultuous times have passed and a brighter future is approaching

I know you're happy, 'cause I can see it
I can sense your contentment and satisfaction

So tell the voice inside ya head to believe it
Encouraging positive self-talk and self-belief

I talked to God about you, he said he sent you an angel
Suggesting that a divine force recognizes the recipient's value and worth

And look at all that he gave you
Acknowledging the recipient's blessings and abundance

You asked for one and you got two
Grateful for the added blessings received

You know I never left you
Assuring the recipient of unconditional love and support

'Cause every road that leads to heaven's right inside you
Highlighting the recipient's inner strength and power

Hello my only one, just like the mornin' sun
Greeting the recipient and acknowledging their potential to shine and rise

You'll keep on risin' 'til the sky knows your name
Encouraging the recipient to persevere and make their name known to the world

Remember who you are
Reminding the recipient of their identity and worth

No you're not perfect but you're not your mistakes
Emphasizing the importance of self-forgiveness and growth

Oh the good outweighs the bad even on your worst day
Affirming that positivity and goodness prevail despite difficult times

Hey hey one day you'll be the man you always knew you could be
Encouraging the recipient to strive for their full potential

And if you knew how proud I was
Expressing the singer's immense pride for the recipient

You'd never shed a tear, have a fear, no you wouldn't do that
Suggesting that the singer's pride would eliminate any negative emotions and doubts

And though I didn't pick the day to turn the page
Acknowledging that change and progress may not be immediate or deliberate

I know it's not the end every time I see her face, and I hear you say
Feeling reassured by the presence of the recipient and their words of encouragement

You got the world 'cause you got love in your hands
Highlighting the recipient's potential to make a positive impact on the world through love

And you're still my chosen one
Affirming that the recipient is still valued and loved

Can you understand? One day you'll understand
Asking the recipient to trust and have faith in their journey

I won't go, I won't go
Declaring the singer's commitment to their relationship and support

No goodbyes, no goodbyes
Expressing a desire to maintain the relationship indefinitely

Just hello, just hello
Preferring a greeting rather than a farewell

And when you cry, I will cry
Assuring the recipient of shared emotions and empathy

And when you smile, I will smile
Celebrating the recipient's joy and positivity

And next time when I look in your eyes
Anticipating future moments of connection and understanding

We'll have wings and we'll fly
Metaphorically implying a future of freedom and limitless potential

Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me
Asking the recipient to share the artist's words and love with someone else
