Only One I Need

Verse 1

Packed up my things on a Tuesday morning

Told the landlord I won't be back

Left the key on the kitchen counter

Didn't leave a forwarding address

The pavement felt different under my feet

Like the ground had finally stopped shaking

I saw the clouds split open wide

And for once I didn't feel like faking

Chorus

Stand on my own two feet

I don't need your guarantee

Watch me walk the empty street

I'm the only one I need

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Verse 2

My father said play it safe, son

Build your walls brick by brick

But I'd rather climb the mountain

And find out what makes it tick

They hand you rules like heavy blankets

Warm at first then hard to breathe

I tore the stitching, let the feathers fly

Watched them scatter in the breeze

Chorus

Stand on my own two feet

I don't need your guarantee

Watch me walk the empty street

I'm the only one I need

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Bridge

Maybe I'll fall

Maybe I'll stumble through the rain

But the sky I'm under

Isn't someone else's domain

And I've got nothing to lose

Nothing left to explain

Breakdown

Nothing to prove

Nothing to prove

Nothing at all

Chorus

Stand on my own two feet

I don't need your guarantee

Watch me walk the empty street

I'm the only one I need

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Outro

Only one I need

Only one I need

Only one

Only one
