One at a Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm only floating on the breeze
Sweet dreams are falling from the trees
I'm on my knees
I'm fumbling through my pockets for my keys
One at a time, mama please

[Verse 2]
I'm only lonely through the night
I'm sweating, fretting through the flight
I'm out of sight
I'm crying, I am flying like a kite
One at a time, out of sight

[Bridge]
One at a time
One at a time
One at a time
One at a time

[Verse 1]
I'm only floating on the breeze
Sweet dreams are falling from the trees
I'm on my knees
I'm fumbling through my pockets for my keys
One at a time, mama please

[Outro]
I'm only lonely through the night

About

This song bio is unreviewed

In one of his interviews, Ruban admits to writing “One at a Time” very literally about only being able to handle one thing at a time, specifically in terms of drugs and women. On tour for his first album, these two stimuli were too much for him and this song was to document his struggles with multi-drugs and multi-love.
