One and Done
One and Done: Navigating Ego, Risks, and Transient Triumphs
Lyrics
I'm gonna take you every place you want
I intend to accompany you to all the places you desire.
Every quality you have just flaunt
Show off every positive trait or characteristic you possess.
Have you even thought about it twice?
Have you considered the situation thoroughly?
I'm not the first to say that you seem nice
Others have remarked positively about you before.
But you don't seem to try to want to take me on
However, you don't seem eager to initiate a relationship with me.
It's never quite worth the risk of being wrong
The potential for making a mistake makes pursuing you not worthwhile.
You could assume most people serve you very well
Many people likely fulfill your needs effectively.
But it leaves your ego exposed
This reliance on others may leave your self-esteem vulnerable.
You know it's not gonna last that long
Whatever connection we have won't endure for an extended period.
Everyone has got to move right on
Everyone has to move forward in life.
But at least you had a really good run
Despite the brevity, you had a satisfying experience.
Even if it was just one and done
Even if it was only a one-time occurrence.
But you don't seem to try to want to take me on
Still, you don't express a desire to engage with me.
It's never quite worth the risk of being wrong
The risk of being wrong makes pursuing you unappealing.
You could assume most people serve you very well
Many people likely fulfill your needs effectively.
But it leaves your ego exposed
Relying on others may leave your self-esteem exposed.
If you're figured out then it's treason
If someone understands your true nature, it's considered betrayal.
Just so nobody has to find out
Preventing others from discovering your true self.
How you hold your cards
Avoiding revealing your strategies or intentions.
But I've already puzzled you out
I have already deciphered your character.
But you don't seem to try to want to take me on
Still, you don't express a desire to engage with me.
It's never quite worth the risk of being wrong
The risk of being wrong makes pursuing you unappealing.
You could assume most people serve you very well
Many people likely fulfill your needs effectively.
But it leaves your ego exposed
Relying on others may leave your self-esteem exposed.
And as I move past your pointless little status quo
As I surpass your insignificant norms,
You move up the chain in favor of the old
You climb the hierarchy favoring the established ways.
You could assume most people serve you very well
Many people likely fulfill your needs effectively.
But it leaves your ego exposed
Relying on others may leave your self-esteem exposed.
