about

Really, when you think about it, the odds of meeting someone are stacked against you.

lyrics

Now listen
Someone out there really wants to love you but here's the thing
There's a really good chance you'll never, ever meet them
In fact it's pretty much definite that you probably won't
But that doesn't mean you should stop looking for them
Because they're not going to just vanish or appear if you do
Or because you don't
They're not just going to vanish or appear
Because you're looking for them or because you don't

So you might ask, "Where is this tender love tonight?"
Well, they're probably in somebody's sweaty arms
In their sweaty bed
And they're having sweaty sex
But I bet you that they feel alone inside
Just like you
I bet you they just as lonely as you do tonight
Maybe as if their lover were dead

Hey, why don't you try this?
Get some paper and a typewriter
And you could type out some random names
and hit upon a list
Of true loves you've never met
Of true loves you've never kissed
Of people you've never met before
Of true loves you've never kissed
And most likely never will

True loves you never can
That one true soul who's already with another man
That one true soul in the entire world
Who's already with another girl
That one true soul who's with another man
That one true soul who's already with another girl
That one true soul in this entire world

I was watching a movie
Where this woman died in her husband's arms
And I thought, "I have no one to die in my arms
and I have no arms to die in when I'm old.
I'm nobody's one true soul in this entire world.
I'm nobody's one true soul."
