The One
Sugar Coated Secrets: Unraveling the Allure of 'The One'
Lyrics
She called to say she's overdrawn
She informed that she's financially strained or emotionally drained.
She needs a cab to get back home
She requires a cab to return home.
She'll pay me back but don't know when
She promises repayment but is uncertain about the timeline.
I swear she only wants it all
The narrator believes she desires everything.
We keep a little picture postcard wall
A collection of postcards displaying places they won't visit together.
Of all the places we won't go
List of places they won't go.
I'm not the one who who put you here
The narrator denies responsibility for her current situation.
I'm not the one who could take you or leave you anywhere
The narrator is indifferent to being with or without her.
Between the boys who pay her bills
Reference to men who financially support her.
There's a pocket she keeps filled
She keeps a hidden pocket filled with coping mechanisms for her pain.
With all the candy for her pain
Candy symbolizes a means of dealing with emotional pain.
Do you see her now
Questioning if the listener can see her true self.
She's a sugar coated girl
Describing her as sweet or pleasant on the surface.
She nearly melts out in the rain
She becomes vulnerable or fragile in difficult situations.
I'm not the one who who put you here
Reiteration of not being responsible for her situation.
I'm not the one who could take you or leave you anywhere
Reiterating indifference to being with or without her.
Hold me down now (hold me down around you now)
Expressing a desire to be held down around her.
Hold me down now (hold me deep within you now)
Expressing a desire to be held deep within her.
Hold me down now
Repetition of the desire to be held down.
All I wanted was to touch you, to taste you
The narrator's longing for physical and emotional connection.
To hear you say the things you'll never say
Desire to hear unspoken words from her.
I'm not the one who keeps you here
Reiteration of not being the one keeping her in her current situation.
I'm not the one who could take you or leave you anywhere
Reiterating indifference to being with or without her.
Hold me down now (hold me down around you now)
Expressing a desire to be held down around her.
Hold me down now (hold me deep within you now)
Expressing a desire to be held deep within her.
Hold me down now
Repetition of the desire to be held down.
All I wanted was to touch you, to taste you
The narrator's longing for physical and emotional connection.
To hear you say the things you'll never say
Desire to hear unspoken words from her.
