The One

Maisie Peters

6

Everything is sinking

I think I've known it from

The moment that I saw you in your corduroys

Can you tell I'm thinking

Of all the jokes we're yet to make

And I can't wait to call me yours, boy

All I taste are roses

I ask your name and feel my center of gravity

Take flight

And settle on your backbone

I think I'll know forever more that any other glow is fake light

Now I've seen you

I've seen it all

You know I'll dream about waking up

Knowing I know you

It's this lightning bolt of not enough

When I have to say "see you soon"

And I'll dance around my bedroom

Singing out of key

That I've found the one, the one, the one, the one

Who's gonna dance with me

Suddenly I'm floating

And I see sunrise and a hand that'll take mine when time goes black

And I'm bad at hoping

So I'll throw my very best attempts at him

And hope he throws his back

I wanna meet your mother

I wanna write a thousand accolades to your hair and the gap in your front teeth

I wanna say I love ya

And I know it's crazy how the words I used to prison guard so suddenly fly free

Now I've seen you

I've seen it all

You know I'll dream about waking up

Knowing I know you

It's this lightning bolt of not enough

When I have to say see you soon

And I'll dance around my bedroom

Singing out of key

That I've found the one, the one, the one, the one

Who's gonna dance with me

I wanna know your birthday

I wanna know your favourite colour

I felt an earthquake

The first time I heard your laughter

I hope to death you haven't got someone waiting on you

Coz I know I left my reason and my pride beneath my bed oh

I wanna pinkie promise

And have you know how much I mean it

I wanna know that honest

Doesn't connote who spoke the meanest

And now I'm dancing round my bedroom in my dressing gown, and damn

The only song left in my head is how I finally understand

The words I've written

They were waiting for you

You know I'll dream about waking up

Knowing I know you

It's this lightning bolt of not enough

When I have to say see you soon

And I'll dance around my bedroom

Singing out of key

That I've found the one, the one, the one, the one

You know I'll dream about waking up

Knowing I know you

It's this lightning bolt of not enough

When I have to say see you soon

And I'll dance around my bedroom

Singing out of key

That I've found the one, the one, the one, the one

Who's gonna dance with me
