One Thing

What, where am i?
What's life like on a train
Nobody there knows your name
As your decision changed
Do you wish that i came ?
I thought youd pick me up from work
I waited for your truck for half hour
I know you said you were gonna
But i never thought youd leave
This one thing that was made for us
Chasing us, saving us
I'll take one thing over everything
I'll take that thing over anybody
Square face and puppy eyes
Foul mouth they never lied
Your old man lived in the sky left you a house with a yard
But you went away, a different try, find a place that's your size
Too good to finish life here with me
And i couldn't get you to say
Why you wouldn't let me come
What should be simple just ain't
And it shouldn't hurt like it does
This one thing is made for us
Won't stay with us, it ain't saving us
But i'll take one thing over everything
I'll take that thing over anybody
Baby hold it off clear
I need a complement, just a touch from a friend
I need a gentle world
I need your company i'll keep
One thing that was made for us
Chasing us, saving us
I take one thing over everything
I take that thing over anybody
I take one thing over everything
I take that thing over anybody
Anything
Take one thing
