One Hit Wonder

Verse 1

Fifteen minutes lasted half a year

Radio spinning my name on repeat

Traded the station for a dusty back room

Now the requests come to my machine

Pre-Chorus

They played us on the midnight show

One more spin before the fade

Used to feel it in my bones

Now it's just a memory that stayed

Chorus

One hit wonder

That's what they call me now

One hit wonder

Guess I'll take the bow

Lights flicker low

Crowd's forgotten how

One hit wonder

Somehow

Verse 2

Labels call but never call me back

Demos pile up under cracked vinyl sleeves

I still write the chorus in my head

Nobody's listening but the autumn leaves

Pre-Chorus

They played us on the midnight show

One more spin before the fade

Used to feel it in my bones

Now it's just a memory that stayed

Chorus

One hit wonder

That's what they call me now

One hit wonder

Guess I'll take the bow

Lights flicker low

Crowd's forgotten how

One hit wonder

Somehow

Bridge

Maybe that's enough

Maybe that's the whole story told

I gave them something bright

Something bold

They kept the chorus

I kept the cold

Chorus

One hit wonder

That's what they call me now

One hit wonder

Guess I'll take the bow

Lights flicker low

Crowd's forgotten how

One hit wonder

Somehow

Outro

One hit

One hit

One hit wonder
