Just One
The Vortex on C89.5 Lyrics

Lonely, yeah that's the word
Being alone is the only way to describe my current state.

I leave my heart when I leave her
My heart stays behind with my loved one when I'm away.

The days go on forever and the nights do too
Time seems to drag on endlessly without my loved one by my side.

One evening out on the road
While traveling away from home one night,

A half a world away from home
I found myself incredibly far from home,

I thought she was sleeping
I assumed my partner was fast asleep,

When the call came through
But then I received a phone call.

I said, darling, it's late, is everything okay
I asked my partner if everything was alright, calling her by a term of endearment.

Silence took over the room
There was complete and utter silence in the room.

'Til she said
Until she finally spoke.

I, I just love you
My partner expressed her love for me,

I don't know why, I just do
without being able to explain the reasoning behind her feelings.

When are you coming home
She then asked when I would be returning home.

I'm coming home soon
I reassured her that I would be coming home soon.

And I, I just love you too
And I reciprocated her feelings of love.

Lonely lets me be
Being alone can sometimes be a peaceful and calming experience for me,

For a while she sets me free
but only for a brief moment, as my mind always wanders back to my loved one.

I close my eyes and I dream of her
I often find myself daydreaming about being with her again.

She's lost in my arms
In my daydreams, she is held tightly in my embrace,

Her head on my heart
resting her head on my chest and listening to my heartbeat.

And softly she whispers the words
As she whispers sweet nothings into my ear.

I, I just love you
Once again, she proclaims her love for me.

I don't know why, I just do
Even without a reason or explanation for her feelings,

When are you coming home
she still anxiously awaits my return.

I'm coming home soon
Once again, I reassure her that I will be home soon.

And I, I just love you too
And once again, I express my love for her.

I'll never stop being amazed
I will always be in awe of the love and wisdom my young daughter possesses.

How my four year old girl knows exactly what to say
My daughter is able to express her emotions with such clarity and poise,

I, I just love you
just like her mother's love for me.

I don't know why, I just do
Without needing an explanation for her feelings,

When are you coming home
my daughter asks the same question as her mother did earlier.

I'm coming home soon
And once again, I reassure her that I will be home soon.

'Cause I just love you too
And just as with my partner and my daughter, my love for my daughter is unwavering and unconditional.
