The One I Love Lyrics

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I’ve left behind
A simple thought to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I’ve left behind
A simple prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

these lyrics are wrong. the first time through, the words are:

"a simple thought to occupy my mind."

i love this song, so much. it sounds almost haunting, the way that there is only a soft guitar in the background as rosie and sufjan are singing. i absolutely adore it.

Absolutely gorgeous. I don't know how the repeated refrain of the word "fire" can be so compelling, but it IS. Sufjan and Denison complement Rosie's vocals perfectly. This song is golden.
