📝 The One Lyrics – English
Meet me in the city I don't want to be alone tonight
All the lost souls trying to make it home alright
We stay up all night, I guess we're both afraid of the dark
Holding on to each other in a world that's falling apart
[Chorus]
I don't want to wait anymore
Never been this close before
You are the one, you are the one
I've been waiting for
I don't want to run anymore
I've been running since the day I was born
You are the one I need in a world that's coming undone
[Verse 2]
Tired of hiding in the shadows, getting lost in the crowd
I want the world to know I love you
I want to shout your name out loud
We can get lost in each other in a world that's falling apart
No strings attached you gotta hold onto your heart
[Chorus]
I don't want to wait anymore
Never been this close before
You are the one, you are the one
I've been waiting for
I don't want to run anymore
I've been running since the day I was born
You are the one I need in a world that's coming undone
[Post-Chorus]
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
[Chorus]
I don't want to wait anymore
Never been this close before
You are the one, you are the one I've been waiting for
I don't want to run anymore
I've been running since the day I was born
You are the one I need in a world that's coming undone
[Outro]
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
