Some days I get going sideways
Down a lonesome highway
Steering my life my way
Where I don't need permission
Making bad decisions
Path of least resistance
I get used to living
Like I'm the only one in the world
The only one in the world
The only one in the world
Tell me now am I the only one in the world
Who gets turned around
'Til I'm upside down
Don't tell me I'm the only one in the world
The only one in the world
Some days I feel like I'm wrestling
Impossible questions
Confusing my blessing
For what I'm chasing after
Things that just don't matter
Climbing up that ladder
Don't the top get lonely
When you're the only one in the world
The only one in the world
The only one in the world
Tell me now am I the only one in the world
Who could come this far
And then fall so hard
Don't tell me I'm the only one in the world
I know I am really just a face lost in the crowd
Another voice in the distance
Another hand reaching out
I'm burdened and I'm broken
I'm as common as can be
But when He looks at me
It's like I'm the only
One in the world
The only one in the world
I know, I know, I know
I'm not the only one in the world
The only one in the world
He loves me like I'm the only one in the world
Mmm...
The only one in the world
