2. Camera Shy was an indie pop band that recorded in an apartment bedroom in San Ramon, California. You can also say that Camera Shy was a non-profit money shot. The band was formed in the summer of 2006, while listening to The Lucksmiths' 'Naturaliste' album. After 1 lineup change, and 2 summers, the 3 boys plodded along everyday, buying off the dollar menu, naming instruments, and recording vocals in a closet which they named 'The Booth'. Camera Shy was basically a high-school love affair with a grown-up disguise. Oh, and don't forget about Amy the Drum Machine! The biggest influence: The Lucksmiths.
Your only one

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My thoughts can't find their way around you, around you
When I look up from the ground
I cannot help but wonder where we're going
Close your eyes and think of me when you are alone
I could be the one to be your only one
'Cause all my dreams are real as the sun
They can go away and leave us alone
Once a day I think of you
It doesn't help that you're not where I'm going
Looked down at the sparkling street
And wished for it to be our reflection
Close your eyes and think of me when you are alone
I could be the one to be your only one
'Cause all my dreams are real as the sun
Come into my life, don't care about everyone
They can go away and leave us alone
(Alone)
(Leave us a...)
(Alone)
(Leave us a...)
(Alone)
(Leave us a...)
(Alone)
You are alone
I could be the one to be your only one
'Cause all my dreams are real as the sun
Come into my life, don't care about everyone
They can go away and leave us alone

Turn around to look your way
I cannot help but be drawn to you as if you have a magnetic force
My thoughts can't find their way around you, around you
My mind is preoccupied with thoughts of you, making it hard to focus on anything else
When I look up from the ground
Once I stop daydreaming and pay attention to reality
I cannot help but wonder where we're going
I become consumed with thoughts of what the future holds for us
Close your eyes and think of me when you are alone
Remember me and our connection when you're feeling lonely
I could be the one to be your only one
I am capable of being loyal and devoted to you with no one else in the picture
'Cause all my dreams are real as the sun
I have high hopes and a strong belief in our potential together, similar to how the sun is an unwavering presence every day
Come into my life, don't care about everyone
Ignore others' opinions and focus on what we share together
They can go away and leave us alone
We don't need any outside influence, we can handle things ourselves
Once a day I think of you
You occupy my thoughts every day without fail
It doesn't help that you're not where I'm going
It's difficult to focus on anything else because I feel like I'm supposed to be with you
Looked down at the sparkling street
I took a moment to observe the beauty around me
And wished for it to be our reflection
I imagined that everything around me reflected our potential future together
You are alone
In times when you feel isolated and unsupported
I could be the one to be your only one
Remember that I will always be there for you with no one else to compete with
'Cause all my dreams are real as the sun
Our future together is bright and achievable
Come into my life, don't care about everyone
Put your trust in me and our relationship without giving into outside opinions
They can go away and leave us alone
We can handle any challenges that come our way on our own
