We were the promise

Never doubted for a second

We'd make it

Like in the very very best stories

But we're stuck on a roundabout

It's a crying shame

'Cause now I count the days

Because we don't wanna talk about us anymore

We've forgotten the melody

That we once wrote together

Now our lives pass each other by

Are these the very last meters

Or will it ever get better again

We never say babe I love you anymore

No, we don't laugh like we used to

And we don't cry like we used to

So aren't we that one in a million after all

Our dreams are lying in the street now

Sweet words don't get through anymore

So maybe we really weren't made for each other after all

So aren't we one in a million after all

Are we still special

Or are we sinking in silence

We can start all over again

Though I don't know if I'd still want that

I thought we could handle this

Before tears and doubts existed

What should we even start

If we can't win anymore

We've forgotten the melody we once wrote together

Now our lives pass each other by

Are these the very last meters

Or will it ever get better again

We never say babe I love you anymore

No, we don't laugh like we used to

And we don't cry like we used to

So aren't we that one in a million after all

Our dreams are lying in the street now

Sweet words don't get through anymore

So maybe we really weren't made for each other after all

So aren't we one in a million after all

We've forgotten the melody

That we once wrote together

Now our lives pass each other by

Are these the very last meters

Or will it ever get better again

We never say babe I love you anymore

No, we don't laugh like we used to

And we don't cry like we used to

So aren't we that one in a million after all

SONG MEANING

Imagine being so in sync with someone that you feel like the lucky “one in a million.” That is where Metejoor and Babet’s duet begins – with two lovers who once believed their relationship was unbreakable, a real-life fairy tale. They recall promises, shared melodies, and endless optimism, only to find themselves stuck “on a roundabout,” going in circles while their dreams lie scattered on the street. The song captures the bittersweet moment when laughter, tears, and tender words have all but disappeared, leaving the pair wondering if their epic love story has reached its final pages.

At its heart, the track is a tender conversation about lost connection and the hope of repair. The singers trade questions: Are these truly the last few meters, or can things ever get better? Were they ever really destined for each other? By repeating “Zijn we dan toch geen één op een miljoen?” (“Are we really not that one in a million?”), the chorus highlights both doubt and lingering affection. It is a relatable snapshot of modern relationships, reminding listeners that even the most magical romances need constant care, or the melody you once wrote together might fade into silence.
