Maybe I'm Not The One
Navigating Love's Shadows: Maybe I'm Not The One by Malibu Cowboys
Lyrics
You leave the lights on but you're never home
You keep the lights on, but you're never at home
You're black and white film with a modern roll
Describing the person as a classic film with a contemporary twist
We had the place and time, you tried to change my mind
We had the opportunity, but you attempted to change my mind
I drove around all night
I drove around all night, possibly searching for resolution
I wore the same old shoes to places I took you to
Wearing the same shoes to places we used to go
You say they changed your life
You claim those places changed your life
Maybe I'm not the one but he might be
Expressing doubt about being "the one" in a relationship
Maybe I'm not the one but he might be
Repeating the uncertainty about being "the one"
Our favorite song is so old to me
The favorite song is no longer special or meaningful
And his coat belongs where mine used to be
His coat now occupies the space where mine used to be
Maybe I'm not the one but he might be
Reiterating uncertainty about being "the one"
I found a way out and I wrote it down
Discovering a way out and documenting it
Your mother told me how you're doin' now
Receiving information about the ex-partner from their mother
You say I move too slow because I mess around
Criticizing for moving too slowly and being uncommitted
Turns out it's all I know
Realizing that such behavior is all they know
I thought we figured out that space is best right now
Agreeing that maintaining distance is the best choice currently
Don't want to get too close
Fearing getting too emotionally involved
Maybe I'm not the one but he might be
Repeating uncertainty about being "the one"
Maybe I'm not the one but he might be
Reiterating the doubt about being "the one"
Our favorite song is so old to me
The favorite song has lost its significance
And his coat belongs where mine used to be
His presence has replaced mine in a symbolic way
Maybe I'm not the one but he might be
Repeating uncertainty about being "the one"
I wish I could tell you, get out while you can
Expressing a wish for the other person to leave before it's too late
Get out while you can
Reiterating the advice to leave while there's a chance
I wish I could tell you, get out while you can
Repeating the desire for the other person to leave while they can
Get out while you can
Reiterating the advice to leave while there's a chance
I wish I could tell you, get out while you can
Repeating the desire for the other person to leave while they can
Get out while you can
Reiterating the advice to leave while there's a chance
I wish I could tell you, get out while you can
Repeating the desire for the other person to leave while they can
Get out while you can
Reiterating the advice to leave while there's a chance
Maybe I'm not the one but he might be
Repeating uncertainty about being "the one"
Maybe I'm not the one but he might be
Reiterating the doubt about being "the one"
Our favorite song is so old to me
The favorite song has lost its significance
And his coat belongs where mine used to be
His presence has replaced mine in a symbolic way
Maybe I'm not the one but he might be
Repeating uncertainty about being "the one"
Maybe I'm not the one
Questioning if they are indeed "the one"
Maybe I'm not the one
Expressing doubt about being "the one"
Maybe I'm not the one
Repeating uncertainty about being "the one"
Maybe I'm not the one
