Finger Eleven – One Thing Lyrics

Alternative

Restless tonight
'Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line

It's nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away
For one thing, just for one thing
If I sorted it out, if I knew all about
This one thing wouldn't that be something

I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time

Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah, I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away
For one thing, just for one thing
If I sorted it out, if I knew all about
This one thing wouldn't that be something

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away
For one thing, just for one thing
If I sorted it out, if I knew all about
This one thing wouldn't that be something

Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah, I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah, I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away
For one thing, just for one thing
If I sorted it out, if I knew all about
This one thing wouldn't that be something

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away
For one thing, just for one thing
If I sorted it out, if I knew all about
This one thing wouldn't that be something

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away
For one thing, just for one thing
If I sorted it out, if I knew all about
This one thing wouldn't that be something

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away
For one thing, just for one thing
If I sorted it out, if I knew all about
This one thing wouldn't that be something

The song's minimalist arrangement builds tension through sparse instrumentation and Greyson's vulnerable vocals, creating an intimate yet unsettling atmosphere. Lyrically, it examines the dangerous psychology of fixation, where one person becomes someone's entire world and reason for existence. The track became the Canadian band's biggest hit, showcasing their ability to blend melodic accessibility with darker psychological themes.
