Only - Sampha

Lyrics by：Sampha Sisay

Composed by：Pablo Díaz-Reixa/Sampha Sisay

Produced by：El Guincho/Sampha

Only only only only only you

Only only only only only only

Still here only God knows why

Still here only God knows why

Only God knows why

Dreams of a beach with a house behind

Beach with a house behind

Deep thought on the speed of life

Sun's in perfect reach each time

Oh

Then I wake up clean to a different light

Light light light

And I see problems jump and hide

Hide hide hide

I can't see trap doors in my mind

Blurry signs that I can't define

Like predictin' movements ahead of time

Projectiles comin' from the side

Projectiles comin' for my life

War zone when I close my eyes

La-la-la it's fingers in my ears

I was not tryna hear

I'm movin' on faith and faith only

Desires crush me numb

I would chase and then some

From love I would run

Like it's just here to disown me

That's why I keep my distance even if I miss it

Wire me the wisdom to pick up when it phones me

Take my body for a walk call somebody just to talk

Take a mic and press record and speak the truth only

Only only only only only only you

Only only only only only only you

I was chasin' highs

I was chasin' highs

On diagonal

On diagonal

Started lookin' down

Started lookin' down

Like "Where the middle go"

Where the middle go

I been on this grind like it's gonna break my fall

Gonna break my fall

Careerism pot hole like "Where my love ones goes"

Where my love ones goes

Obediently blindly I trust you and you know

Trust you and you know

I don't wanna judge but I need to save my soul

Need to save my soul

I question your priorities isn't in this boat

Wired to a system born into a cold

Has a way of keepin' self-esteem on the low

Self-esteem on the low

Betting on myself like "How wise is this hope"

How wise is this hope

Betting on myself like "How wide is this hole"

How wide is this hole

You tell me it's the wrong choice

You tell me it's the wrong choice but I-

La-la-la it's fingers in my ears

I was not tryna hear

I'm movin' on faith and faith only

Desires crush me numb

I would chase and then some

From love I would run like

It's just here to disown me

Only only only only only only you

Only only only only only only only you

Only only only only only only only you

Only only only only only only
