Story Behind The Song

A man and a woman are each looking for the right partner to build a relationship with.

Song Description

The song begins with a woman lamenting that in spite of successes, she doesnt have anyone to talk to. A man is going home wishing there was someone inside for him to share his day with. They sing the chorus about wishing for the one love that theyre each sure exists. The bridge of the song show how empty each of them feels, how the holes in their lives cant be filled up with stuff. The last verse sums up their belief that "today could be the day".

Lyrics

I come around the corner and nobody's there
I know nobody's waiting for me anywhere
I know I've got it real good but sometimes
It gets cold and old talking to myself

I walk up to the front door and slide in the key
I know nobody's waiting inside there for me
Nobody to say "hello, how are you, did your day go well
And nobody to tell, I need

One Love to be my only
One heart to beat with my heart, it's all I need
One time and one time only
One chance, it's all Im asking
It's all I need

Everybody thinks that it must be so fine
I never have to share because everything's mine
I only hear an echo and my shadow is all I see
It's all my company, I want

One Love to be my only
One heart to beat with my heart it's all I need
One time and one time only
One chance, it's all I'm asking
It's all I need

Simply said theres a hole in my life
I can't fill up alone
Simply said there's a lack of light
Til the sun comes rising and then I believe
I really do believe the this dream will come true
I'll come around the corner and run into you
Then I know everything is gonna fall into place
That face will light my life and be my

One love to be my only
One heart to beat with my heart
It's all I need
One time and one time only
One chance, it's all I'm asking
It's all I need
One love, one heart, it's all I need
