Only You
Love's Redemption: Only You Unveils a Heart's Journey
Lyrics
Back before I knew you I was lonely, lonely
Before meeting the person, the speaker felt lonely.
Out here trying to find my one and only
The speaker was searching for their soulmate.
Hold me true
An expression of the desire for genuine affection.
Only You
Emphasis on the importance of the specific person ("Only You").
I'd been breaking hearts on the slow burn, slow burn
Prior to the relationship, the speaker was causing emotional pain slowly.
Unaware that every single wrong turn
Unaware of the consequences, the speaker made mistakes in relationships.
Led me to
Every wrong turn led the speaker to the person they address.
Only You
Reiterating the significance of the specific person ("Only You").
Only you, only you
Highlighting the exclusivity of the person in the speaker's life.
Got me doing things I thought I'd never do
The person has influenced the speaker positively.
Back before I knew you I was lonely, lonely
Reiteration of the speaker's loneliness before meeting the person.
Out here trying to find my one and only
The ongoing search for a soulmate.
Hold me true
A plea for the person to hold the speaker sincerely.
Only you
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the person ("Only You").
You was kinda crazy for a hay-seed like me
The person was considered unconventional but attractive to the speaker.
Mama said she didn't like your downtown attitude
A reference to disapproval from the speaker's mother.
Only you
Reiteration of the exclusivity of the person ("Only You").
Only you, only you
Underlining the unique influence of the person.
Got me doing things I thought I'd never do
The person has inspired the speaker to do unexpected things.
Back before I knew you I was lonely, lonely
Reflecting on the loneliness before the relationship.
Out here trying to find my one and only
The ongoing quest for a soulmate.
Hold me true
Expressing the desire for the person to hold the speaker sincerely.
Only you
Reaffirmation of the exclusivity of the person ("Only You").
