Artist/Band: Tom Petty
Lyrics for Song: This One's For Me
Lyrics for Album: Echo [1999]



This one's for me, this one's for me

Not for anyone else, I need it you see

I threw all I had into the sea

Now I want a little back, this one's for me



Lover I found the mistakes I've made

Will follow me down into my grave

So much has gone by, so many to please

Well this one I'll keep, this one's for me



And you don't even know what you got

'Til it's walking away

Yeah, you don't even know what you had

'Til it laughs in your face



Some other time, some other day

We'll sing this again some other way

So much has gone by, don't know where to start

Well this one I'll keep here in my heart



And you don't even know what you want

'Til it's walking away

Yeah, you don't even know what you had

'Til it laughs in your face



This one's for me, this one's for me

Not for anyone else, I need it you see

I threw all I had into the sea

Now I want a little back, this one's for me



And you don't even know what you've got

'Til it's walking away

Yeah, you don't even know what you had

'Til it laughs in your face


This One's For Me

Tom Petty's "This One's For Me" serves as a reflective centerpiece on his 1999 album, Echo. The track captures the artist's signature blend of introspection and melodic rock, showcasing his enduring ability to craft emotionally resonant songs. Released during a period where Petty continued to refine his sound, the recording highlights his mature songwriting and distinctive vocal delivery. The song fits seamlessly within his extensive discography, bridging the gap between his classic rock roots and the more contemplative themes found in his later work. As part of the Echo collection, it stands as a testament to Petty's consistent artistic vision and his capacity to explore personal narratives through accessible, powerful music.
