Lyrics

The Only Ones

I was last but at least I'm alive
And I won't last a week in the wild
But the guys brought me in with the tide
To your lighthouse waiting
Now I wanna be the only one
I gotta be the only one
I know that I'm the only one, a-whoa-oh-oh-oh
I gotta be the only one
I wanna be the only one, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Together, let's be forever
I'll leave you never, 'cause God knows
I wanna be the only one
I gotta be the only one
We're the soldiers of the night
And we're fighting for the light
So we'll stay here our whole lives
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was watching the world from the side
When I caught your half-lit eyes
Opened up, pulled me into your life
Taught me how to shine again
I wanna be the only one
I gotta be the only one
I know that I'm the only one, a-whoa-oh-oh-oh
I gotta be the only one
I wanna be the only one, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Together, let's be forever
I'll leave you never, 'cause God knows
I wanna be the only one
I gotta be the only one
We're the soldiers of the night
And we're fighting for the light
So we'll stay here our whole lives
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't wanna live forever
If I can't love you
Then I don't wanna live at all
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Together, let's be forever
I'll leave you never, 'cause God knows
I wanna be the only one
I gotta be the only one
We're the soldiers of the night
And we're fighting for the light
So we'll stay here our whole lives
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Together, let's be forever
I'll leave you never, 'cause God knows
I wanna be the only one
I gotta be the only one
I wanna be the only one
I gotta be the only one
I don't wanna live forever
(Wanna be the only one, I gotta be the only one)
I don't wanna live forever
(Wanna be the only one, I gotta be the only one)
