One Word Lyrics

Should I be shocked to wake at night

To stare out of the window and see my face in the sky

And should I be shocked to realise that you

Are just as illusory as that aforementioned image of me

And that that's why I need

I need to hear that one word

To make it all feel real

I need to hear that one word

That one word

That one word

That one word

Men and women go two by two

Highly in agreement - does that exclude me and you

If they are light then are we the dark

Kicked off of the ark to swim forever in search of lighthouse beams

Because that's how it seems

I need to hear that one word

To make it all feel real

I need to hear that one word

That one word

That one word

That one word

Did I ever really know you

Right at the start when everything was new

Now you're just a mirror in the dark

An unspoken remark

A space on the ark

I need to hear that one word

That one word

That one word

That one word
