Lyrics for One

I'm not lacking in love Not haunted by its pain Of romance, life's given me enough I can't complain But now in this quiet midnight mind I faintly see The one so strong It stops the world and my heart's spinning One to prove what I've always known But couldn't see when he crossed my sky From a star, fell out, shot across my mind In the fiery pile of bodies floating along, ha Gravity does burn inside me I would orbit all who invite me Oh, then again There could be one so strong It stops the world and my heart's spinning One to prove what I've always known But couldn't see this modern mind Won't deny the times that it can't defy When a primal edge just calls me down to the shore, ha Devolution burns inside me I would dive in all who delight me Oh, then again There could be one so strong It stops the world and my heart's spinning One to prove what I've always known But couldn't meet The one so strong It stops the world and my heart's spinning One to prove what I've always known But couldn't meet
