Wow, good stuff. Just saw BP live at this their album release show.
This is the first song that caught me from the new album. I got it at the cd release show and I got the lyrics from the insert. Excited to be able to type one in here and be sure it's accurate.
Pretty and simple in structure, but the words and delivery are really great. They're overtly sad and yet subtle. Because of that, effectively heart-breaking.
I think it could be interpreted a couple different ways, but it's most surely a love song. I almost think it owes a little of the sentiment to the classic "One" by U2, without being that literally a break-up song. It's about someone he finds beautiful for sure, but it's obvious they're not meant to be together.
The real question though, is what "I can't believe we get just one" refers to. He seems to lament the way things are, the way things worked out. My guess is, one fate, one chance, one choice, one life, and/or one love.
Thanks for posting these lyrics! Great song that I've just recently discovered.

However, you honestly thought it was a love song? Read again carefully.
It's obviously about death, or rather the acceptance of the fact that death is our ultimate fate. When his time comes, will he be ready and resigned?

Feel the wind lap up your soul
I am a river for the sea
Feel the wind lap up your soul
I am a river for the sea

One fate, one chance, one choice, one LIFE, and/or one love.
