This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The mind has so many pictures
Why can't I sleep with my eyes open?
The mind has so many memories
Can you remember what it looks like when I cry?
I'm trying, trying to tell you
All that I can in a sweet and velvet tongue
But no words ever could sell you
Sell you on me after all that I have done
I'm only the one you love
Am I only the one you love?
The lady gloom and her hornets circling round
Is now before us, the screaming's done without moving
One little move and for sure you will be stung
I'm singing, "oh, Jerusalem oh, Jerusalem
See what he's picked up in the park"
Let's fuck this awful art party
Want you to make love to me and only to me in the dark
I'm only the one you love
Am I only the one you love?
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
We've traded in our snap shots
We're going through the motions
Into the view, I'm leaving you
Down conduit avenue into the early morning
Into the early morning
The one I love
Are you only the one I love?
Why can't I sleep with my eyes open?
The mind has so many memories
Can you remember what it looks like when I cry?
I'm trying, trying to tell you
All that I can in a sweet and velvet tongue
But no words ever could sell you
Sell you on me after all that I have done
I'm only the one you love
Am I only the one you love?
The lady gloom and her hornets circling round
Is now before us, the screaming's done without moving
One little move and for sure you will be stung
I'm singing, "oh, Jerusalem oh, Jerusalem
See what he's picked up in the park"
Let's fuck this awful art party
Want you to make love to me and only to me in the dark
I'm only the one you love
Am I only the one you love?
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
We've traded in our snap shots
We're going through the motions
Into the view, I'm leaving you
Down conduit avenue into the early morning
Into the early morning
The one I love
Are you only the one I love?

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I think unsweetened has a good interpretation...heres miiine: I agree completely with unsweetened about the first verse obviously showing that these people have a distance between them. And I think that
"But no words ever could sell you Sell you on me after all that I have done"
Implies that Rufus has done the cheating or treating the other person badly. And the other person was upset at him for it, and supposedly forgave him but has still been acting distant. No matter how much he tries to apologize and make up for it. So in his frustration he sarcastically states, "I'm only the one you love."
I think that "The Lady Gloom and her hornets circling round Is now before us, the screaming's done without moving One little move and for sure you will be stung" Simply means that no matter what they try to do or say they are always gloomy or upset together. And always hurling little barbs back and forth at one another.
Then, going from the sarcastic "I'm only the one you love" He switches it to the sort of insecure or unsure, "Am I only the one you love?"
"We've traded in our snap shots We're going through the motions Into the view, I'm leaving you Down Conduit Avenue into the early morning Into the early morning The one I love Are you only the one I love?"
To me, "we've traded in our snapshots" implies that they've traded in their old snapshots for snapshots of them with someone new, but even though they're both moving on Rufus still cares deeply for this person.
