Lyrics

The Only Ones

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was last but at least I'm alive

And I won't last a week in the wild

But the guys brought me in with the tide

To your lighthouse waiting

Now I wanna be the only one

I gotta be the only one

I know that I'm the only one, a-woah-oh-oh-oh

I gotta be the only one

I wanna be the only one, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Together, let's be forever

I'll leave you never, 'cos God knows

I wanna be the only one

I gotta be the only one

We're the soldiers of the night

And we're fighting for the light

So we'll stay here our whole lives

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I was watching the world from the side

When I caught your half-lit eyes

Opened up, pulled me into your life

Taught me how to shine again

I wanna be the only one

I gotta be the only one

I know that I'm the only one, a-woah-oh-oh-oh

I gotta be the only one

I wanna be the only one, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Together, let's be forever

I'll leave you never, 'cos God knows

I wanna be the only one

I gotta be the only one

We're the soldiers of the night

And we're fighting for the light

So we'll stay here our whole lives

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I don't wanna live forever

If I can't love you

Then I don't wanna live at all

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Together, let's be forever

I'll leave you never, 'cos God knows

I wanna be the only one

I gotta be the only one

We're the soldiers of the night

And we're fighting for the light

So we'll stay here our whole lives

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Together, let's be forever

I'll leave you never, 'cos God knows

I wanna be the only one

I gotta be the only one

I wanna be the only one

I gotta be the only one

I don't wanna live forever

(Wanna be the only one, I gotta be the only one)

I don't wanna live forever

(Wanna be the only one, I gotta be the only one)
