One Night
A Night of Redemption: Seeking Connection in the Shadows
Lyrics
I'm most lonely in a crowded room
I feel the most lonely when I am in a crowded room.
It's a complex condition that I got in my youth
I have a complicated emotional state that originated in my youth.
Can someone please just show me the way out
I'm seeking guidance to find a way out of this loneliness.
I want someone that'll hold my hand
I desire someone who will provide emotional support.
Help me run when it's hard to stand
I want someone who will help me face challenges when it's difficult to stand alone.
Feeling like that someone might be you
I think you might be that person.
But I've been wrong before
I've been mistaken in the past.
And I'd guess that you have to
I assume you've also made mistakes.
And after all we're both here standing so
We're both here despite our mistakes.
What's one more mistake or two
What's a couple more mistakes in the grand scheme?
Ooh ooh ooooh
(Musical interlude)
I've been a stranger to love just getting by
I have been distant from love, merely surviving.
And you ooh oooooh
You might only be a temporary distraction.
Might only be a distraction for a while
(Musical interlude)
Take your cards
Take risks in life.
Let 'em fall
Let things happen naturally.
One dance won't be a risk at all
A single dance won't pose a significant risk.
Ooh ooh ooooh
(Musical interlude)
I know you're not one for wasting your heart's time
You are cautious with your heart's time.
But its only a night
But tonight is just a fleeting moment.
I hide myself behind the words I sing
I hide my true self behind the lyrics I sing.
And hope that someone might be able to see
I hope someone can see the real me.
The truth is I'm more lost than you'd assume
I am more lost than people assume.
But I'm not looking for a saving grace
I'm not seeking salvation.
See I'd settle for a friendly face
A friendly face would be enough.
To help me when I don't know what to do
I need help when I'm unsure of what to do.
Cause I've been hurt before
I've experienced pain before.
And I'd guess that you have too
I assume you've also been hurt.
Still our hearts are steady beating and
Our hearts continue to beat despite past hurts.
There's room on this floor for two
There's space for both of us on this journey.
Ooh ooh ooooh
(Musical interlude)
I've been a stranger to love just getting by
I've been distant from love, just surviving.
And you ooh oooooh
You might only be a temporary distraction.
Might only be a distraction for a while
(Musical interlude)
Take your cards
Take risks in life.
Let 'em fall
Let things happen naturally.
One dance won't be a risk at all
A single dance won't pose a significant risk.
Ooh ooh ooooh
(Musical interlude)
I know you're not one for wasting your heart's time
You are cautious with your heart's time.
But its only a night
But tonight is just a fleeting moment.
Ooh ooh ooooh
(Musical interlude)
I'm just a stranger to love who's getting by
I've been distant from love, just surviving.
And you ooh oooooh
You might only be a temporary distraction.
Might only be a distraction for a while
(Musical interlude)
Take your cards
Take risks in life.
Let 'em fall
Let things happen naturally.
One dance won't be a risk at all
A single dance won't pose a significant risk.
Ooh ooh ooooh
(Musical interlude)
I know you're not one for wasting your heart's time
You are cautious with your heart's time.
But its only a night
But tonight is just a fleeting moment.
