Only One
The Icarus Account Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I take my first breath then steps one and two
Forget the small talk girl I’m needing you
Cause it’s the first time
I’ve ever felt alive before in all my life

You make my heart go crazy skipping beats
And oh you look so good it’s killing me
And light the fire and fuel the flame
Without you girl I’m not the same

So I’ll take every breath and take it slow

Will You be my only one
Will you be my only one

Ba ba ba ba do do do
Ba ba ba ba do do do

take the fall and take it hard
It’s safe to say you’ve won my heart
All you are is all I need
So take my hand and come with me

Love

I’ll take every breath and take it slow

Will you be my only one
Will you be my only one

I’ve gotta find a way to get to you
I’ve gotta find a way to get to you

You are the only one for me you are the only one

And if I can’t have you then I will have no one at all
No one, at all

Will you be my only one
Will you be my only one





If I can’t have you then I will have no one at all
No one at all
