ONLY U
Song Meaning
Aaron Cole builds the track on one repeated claim: "Only you can do the things you do." He backs it with two kinds of evidence. One is creation, "Create the sun and the moon." The other is personal rescue: "You breathe life and made me new / My worst days you bring me through."
The verses stay honest about what trusting costs. "Life, it don't get easy," he raps, and he admits putting faith in people who never seem to hold steady, "the same Monday up to Sunday." Against that he sets someone who has been holding him since a young age and who keeps "giving me the cheat codes" when fear sets in. Demons "won't let me go" and he is "tryna keep my head afloat," yet the verse lands on "you in control."
He is content to "sit up on the front row" and let the whole show belong to God.
Only you, only you can
Only you, only you can, yeah
Only you, only you can
Only you, only you can, yeah
Life, it don't get easy
But it's better when you're with me
Sometimes I put my faith in people
But there really ain't no equal
Never met someone that don't change
The same Monday up to Sunday
Even at a young age
You been holding me the whole
Let me sit back 'cause it's your show
But Imma sit up on the front row
Don't gotta tell you, you already know
Yeah, it's you alone
Only you can do the things you do
Create the sun and the moon
And hold it all down you always prove that
Only you can do the things you do
You breathe life and made me new
My worst days you bring me through
Only you...
Sometimes I wonder do you hear me
Yeah, you know how my fears be
But that don't change your love, though
You keep on giving me the cheat codes
Never met someone that stay true
In the clouds or the clear blue
Don't nobody ever compare
I swear it's like you playing solitaire
It's like the demons, they won't let me go
And I'm tryna keep my head afloat, no
Don't gotta tell you, you already know
And you in control
Only you can do the things you do
Create the sun and the moon
And hold it all down you always prove that
Only you can do the things you do
You breathe life and made me new
My worst days you bring me through
Only you...
