The stage was set for me to play
but I decided on the day that I did not believe the page
I walked away because of you
just like Tiresias I knew
that me and you were fated too

we asked the church to save our souls
they said me were too early and to join the fold
I lay and watch you sleep beneath the citrus sky
pretending not to see you through my wanting eyes

I knew you could (be the one)
I knew you should (be the one)
I knew you could (be the one)
be the one be the one
(repeat)

my past was painted on a wall
but with a look you made a fool
I placed you flag into a ball
I'll follow you for any cause
I'll fight for you in any wars
and all to say that I am yours

we asked the church to save our souls
they said me were too early and to join the fold
I lay and watch you sleep beneath the citrus sky
pretending not to see you through my wanting eyes

I knew you should (be the one)
I knew you could (be the one)
I knew you would (be the one)
be the one be the one
(repeat)

did we really? did we really fall in love?
(be the one be the one)
did we really? did we really fall in love?
(be the one be the one)

I knew you should (be the one)
I knew you could (be the one)
I knew you would (be the one)
be the one be the one
(repeat)

did we really? did we really fall in love?
(be the one be the one)
did we really? did we really fall in love?
(be the one be the one)
