Can this be Mockingbird’s theme song? This morning I stumbled upon an Allison Weiss song called “One Way Love” – perhaps a creative rift on this book? It’s an infectious bubble gum pop-punk tune with simple, yet fantastic lyrics (posted below).

I want a one way love, none of this round trip stuff. I wanna laugh ‘til we cry, wanna hold on ‘til we die, oh I want a one way love. I want a one way love, the kind that won’t give up. I wanna hope, wanna trust, wanna need, wanna lust, yeah, I want a one way love. Yeah, one way love…
I want a one way love, the kind that gets back up. I wanna stand by your side, wanna fight to survive, I want a one way love. I want a one way love that sticks it out when times are tough, yeah. Me and you, thick and thin, through and through, I want a one way love. Yeah, one way love…
Everybody leaves, and everybody needs space and time and room to breathe, and all I ever wanted was a reason to believe. Is that so much to ask? ‘Cause right goes wrong and life goes on and I still sing the same old song. Someone tell me something’s gonna last.
I want a one way love. I want a one way love. I wanna hope, wanna trust, wanna need, wanna lust, yeah, I want a one way love. Yeah, one way love. Yeah, one way love….
What a great song! I lust for a one way love too!
