In this poignant ballad, Luke Combs delves into the emotional turmoil of a man grappling with the aftermath of a breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of loneliness and regret as he questions whether his former lover is experiencing the same heartache. The protagonist is torn between pride and longing, confessing that despite claiming to move on, he remains one step away from reaching out. His struggle is compounded by constant reminders of his ex-partner, whether through familiar places or shared memories. The recurring motif of being "one number away" symbolizes the thin line between holding on and letting go. Ultimately, the song captures the universal human experience of love lost and the difficulty in severing emotional ties completely.
One Number Away
Lyrics
Are you sitting at home all alone trying to fall asleep?
Are you staring a hole through your phone praying that it rings?
Are you watching a movie that you've seen a thousand times?
Or maybe playing some Mayer, getting lost in your favorite lines?
Well, if you're anything like me
You just might be doing whatever it takes to drown out the noise
But I just wanna hear your voice
I'm one number away from calling you
I said I was through, but I'm dying inside
Got my head in a mess, girl, I confess
I lied when I said, "I'm leaving and not coming back"
Might be the whiskey or the midnight rain
But everywhere I go, I see your face
In my brain, dialin' up everything I want to say
But I'm still one number away
Are you stuck at a red light with a Marlboro Light on your lips?
Does the smoke in your mirror get clearer without my kiss?
Are you changing the station, replacing our favorite song?
Well, maybe it's a mistake, hit the brakes on the movin' on
Well, if you're anything like me
You just might be doing whatever it takes to outrun the storm
But I'm almost out that door
And I'm one number away from calling you
I said I was through, but I'm dying inside
Got my head in a mess, girl, I confess
I lied when I said, "I'm leaving and not coming back"
Might be the whiskey or the midnight rain
But everywhere I go, I see your face
In my brain, dialin' up everything I want to say
But I'm still one number away
And will you pick up when I call?
Or just forget we loved at all?
We don't have to talk, I just wanna hear your voice
And I'm one number away from calling you
I said I was through, but I'm dying inside
Got my head in a mess, girl, I confess
I lied when I said, "I'm leaving and not coming back"
Might be the whiskey or the midnight rain
But everywhere I go, I see your face
In my brain, dialin' up everything I want to say
But I'm still one number away
Away, away
Yeah, I'm still one number away
