The One For Me

Peter Mayer/MacMcAnally

The one for me would be kind
When I go there in my mind I see
Easy and cool-ish
Smart enough to be confidently foolish
From time to time we’d fight
Then enjoy the fun of making it right
That’s why it hurts me to say
The thing we got ain’t going that way

Chorus
You’re not the one for me
I think it’s obvious that we were just a fling
And here’s the thing
Opposites attract and then react
Time is known to fly
And it’s so wonderful that I almost forgot
That you are not
The One for me

I know it’s funny I should call you again
But I woke up missing a piece
It’s complicated but last night late
Your number dropped out of my laundry receipts
And I love to hear you talk
But then you get to the advice
You want to kick start tomorrow
When the motors running smooth tonight

Chorus
You’re not the one for me
I think it’s obvious that we were just a fling
And here’s the thing
Opposites attract and then react
Time is known to fly
And it’s so wonderful that I almost forgot
That you are not
The One for me

Three years of a joy ride
Like three minutes go by in flash
They come in threes the thrills and I wills and
I wont’s and the whiplash
Well that’s four but…
There’s always more then you bargained for

So we walked and traced our story
On a beautiful night
How we’ve got stuck on those two pages
of hello and goodbye
Well it’s a day by day renewal
Of a ten year one night stand
But just because it’s working out
I hope you understand

Chorus
La la la
Time is known to fly
And it’s so wonderful that I almost forgot
That you are not
The One for me
