One for One
[Verse 1]
If I hadn't grown with you and if half my life had been spent
When we came together, would it be diff'rent?
Are there any more like you though I know that I've asked before
I'm sure there're quite a few like me, why should I be diff'rent?
[Refrain]
Is it true that there's just one for one like I've been told?
[Verse 2]
So hard to tell truth from lies with young eyes of innocence
The glass slipper, the prince's kiss, they make no diff'rence
I thought I knew what I knew, I thought that I knew what they meant
So, so soon too late I realize, a meaning so diff'rent
[Refrain]
Is it true that there's just one for one like I've been told?
[Verse 3]
The highway ends at the iron fence where the diesel trucks march by
The sounds of living can make no sense when they make no difference
Wooden boxes cause a throne, the hollow faces beneath the stone
And all the blank ones on their way home, I see no diffr'nce
[Refrain]
Is it true that there's just one for one like I've been told?
