I first heard about David Gray from the Scrubs soundtrack (“Please Forgive Me”) and have since grown to like his folk-ish, mellow sound. Do enjoy the following song that inspired the slightly ambiguous post title. Hit up the mushy lyrics after the jump.

Gonna close my eyes, girl,
And watch you go
Running through this life, darling,
Like a field of snow.
As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc,
Send a little prayer out to you
Across the falling dark.
Tell the repo-man
And the stars above
That you’re the one I love.
Perfect summer’s night.
Not a wind that breathes.
Just the bullets whispering gentle
Amongst the new green leaves.
There’s things I might have said–
Only wish I could.
Now I’m leaking life faster
Than I’m leaking blood.
Tell the repo-man
And the stars above
That you’re the one I love.
You’re the one I love.
The one I love.
Don’t see Elysium.
Don’t see no fiery Hell.
Just the lights up bright, baby,
In the Bay Hotel.
Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar.
Won’t you take my hand, darling,
On that old dance floor?
We can twist and shout,
Do the turtle dove.
And you’re the one I love.
You’re the one I love.
The one I love.
- David Gray, The One I Love
