Background Melody (The Only One)

Not rated yet.

I know what I'm made of by what’s inside of me
Maybe science, maybe giants, maybe just a mystery
Maybe the mother of invention is really intensity
And baby when they made you I was the background melody
A partner to the feeling, now you’re a part of me

So be the only one who cares
The only one who dares
The only one who sees
The only one who dreams
Be the only one who tries
The only one who cries
Be the only one for me
For me

Don’t think I'm fantasizing, I didn’t make it up
Lots of people tell me things, things about their love
How the music that was playing low, how they made you in the afterglow
I didn’t see ‘em do the body rock, I didn’t feel the aftershock
But baby when they made you I was the background melody

So be the only one who cares
The only one who dares
The only one to dance
The one who takes a chance
Be the only one who’s real
The only one who feels
Be the only one who loves

You may think I'm egocentric but I'm only centred some of the time
I want you to remember, I wanna be the tune you can’t get out of your mind

I wasn’t there to see the pressure drop, I didn’t do the mom and pop
Baby when they made you I was the background melody
Was it the lady or the tiger? who was the bottom? who was the top?
Oh baby when they made you I was the background melody

So be the only one who cares
The only one who dares
The only one who sees
The only one who dreams
Be the only one who tries
The only one who cries
Be the only one for me
For me
