One Step At A Time
The London Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gone until the early evening
Search for her her her
For since I've asked your name
For your love
There's a way, to catch you through the air waves
And change your mind
Tonight I hope you hear me calling
One last time, hey

Everybody is somebody's baby
Until the point till you drive me crazy
And no answer no phone I'm not home
Drop everything headin' over to Stockholm
You dealt with the fears, hopped the truth
The out looking in, ignite the fuse
The words you made emerge
Leading on a verse to a path you should deserve
People around town tell me words of self serve
Now I got a light in the dark I'm at the curve
Looking for my love like you might've only heard
Never face to face but it's time we make it worth, make it worth
Hold up, got stories to tell,
? smile, have recorded the mail, the mail
The love, my love, see you next time
Just no, never forget mine

Hey, gone until the early evening
Search for her
For since I've had you near me
For your love
There's a way, to get you through the air waves
And change your mind
Tonight I hope you hear me calling
One last time

Talk to me, I need to you near sing to me, sooth my air
See it was all giggles when you was here
And now the snapshot is a souvenir
You the queen bee on some love king shit
Let's fly away, handle our business
My best bud and my hug bug
And now you know I got bitten by a love bug
And when you dancing, shake that curly hair
Strange taking back to the early years
? I'm looking for a clue
Checking in, ask the clerk if he saw you
And on some young shit, hum drum dumb shit
Ski line great, got my body on some numb shit
If not now, guess I'll see you next time
Just know I'll never forget my

Hey, gone until the early evening
Search for her
The vault's inside the ? with me
For your love
There's a way, to get you through the air waves
And change your mind
Tonight I hope you hear me calling
One last time

Hey, gone until the early evening
Search for her
The vault's inside the ? with me
For your love
There's a way, to get you through the air waves
And change your mind




Tonight I hope you hear me calling
One last time

One last time, hey
Just one more time, please


Everybody is somebody's baby
Each person is someone special to someone else

Guiding you towards a path that you deserve to be on

The people in town are spreading rumors about you

Now I have found hope in the midst of darkness

And now the snapshot is a souvenir
Now the memories we made together are like precious souvenirs


You the queen bee on some love king shit
You are the dominant figure in matters of love and relationships


Let's fly away, handle our business
Let's escape together and take care of our responsibilities


My best bud and my hug bug
You are my closest friend and the one who brings me comfort


And now you know I got bitten by a love bug
You now realize that I have become infatuated with love


And when you dancing, shake that curly hair
And when you dance, let your curly hair sway


Strange taking back to the early years
It feels strange reminiscing about our early years together


? I'm looking for a clue
Now I'm searching for a sign or hint


Checking in, ask the clerk if he saw you
I'll check in and inquire with the clerk if they have seen you


And on some young shit, hum drum dumb shit
Indulging in youthful and foolish behavior


Ski line great, got my body on some numb shit
Drinking and skiing have numbed my body and mind


If not now, guess I'll see you next time
If not now, I suppose I'll see you in the future


Just know I'll never forget my
Just know that I will always remember my
