| All Time Low – My Only One Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Oh, one other thing i forgot. For me "Time-Bomb" is very closely related to this song. Diving head first into the situation and holding on to the person as much as possible, even though things aren't going smooth. "no way out of this, so let's stay in. You fight and disagree, and make up after every fight, instead of being serious about if it is going to work because you are young, reckless, and in love. All of these things are mistakes we all must make in early relationships to make the later ones even better. | |

I think this song is very open to interpretation, but personally I think this is a break up song. And in particular the lost of first love. I feel like I am going through the same situation now. You find a very special person very early in your life and you feel that this person will be your "only one". As time moves on you fall deeply in love with that person, and you don't want them to leave, and they become a part of you. The only problem with this is that at such a young age people are still growing and learning. After a long and strong relationship, both parties start to realize that this was great, but maybe spending forever together really isn't a reality, and the whole thing becomes too much work ("All of my obsessing..."). When the person is your first, you try so hard to make it work because you think they are your "only one", but maybe they aren't. The actual name of the song "My Only One" is in itself a representation of this situation. She has been his "only one", so how do you know what else is out there. The line is " You are my only one, That's all i know, You're all I know", he wants to stay with her because it is all he has ever known, and being alone is a scary thought, but how do you stay when "your heart's not in it". He is having trouble deciding if he wants to throw away the only thing he knows, or hold on to it and try to make it work, even though his heart may not be there anymore. This interpretation comes from, as i said before, my own situation. My girlfriend of almost 3 years (from age 16-19, so it was a long time for people as young as we are) and I recently broke up. It was her decision, but it was semi mutual. When I first heard this song, it put a pit in the base of my stomach, because it make me question our relationship. I began to wonder if we both only stayed because it was comfortable to know we had each other, and wondering if the love was still there. We still loved each other, but was that spark that made us work starting to fade? I ignored my doubts, and started to feel the old connection from before, but she did not, and decided to end things. Our mistake was never talking about it, even though we both felt it, and we pretended that everything was ok. In a lot of ways, I feel that is exactly what this song is talking about, what to do when the love starts to fade with someone you thought was going to be "the one". |
