Lyrics to One Day
One day I lay awake
My whole life plain
On the clock face
I saw everything I ever was before
In one it seemed so quaint
The timid same steps
My feet had take
But an inch feels like a mile
Under a day
I used to think there was no way for us
To know what path to take
So I took the one that had me stay in place
I watched the days go by in frames
And wondered why they each had names
They all so seemed the same
Inside my brain
I don't know who could say
They used their time in the best way
One day is just a door to one day more
In all the steps I took, the photographs and the songs I wrote
Trying to fill my bag with memories
Under my chest an emptiness
But one day stood out above the rest
The one part of me would stay in forever
Every lonely hour
Reached back to hold one petal from a flower
Oh a ripe heart's only wish is to be with another
At the end of all history
Let just one thing be left of me
What could you do in just one day
Fall in love, spend your time away
A million years of time it took
For our eyes to align to share the look
Of every day at once
That I was luck alive to feel the love
Give in your smile to me
It told the everlasting why
One day I'm all alone
About to turn myself to stones
A few more for the waves to wash away
When suddenly you look at me
You opened up eternity
Two hearts on either side
Turned into each other
At the end of all history
Let just one thing be left of me
What could you do in just one day
Fall in love, spend your time away
My whole life plain
On the clock face
I saw everything I ever was before
In one it seemed so quaint
The timid same steps
My feet had take
But an inch feels like a mile
Under a day
I used to think there was no way for us
To know what path to take
So I took the one that had me stay in place
I watched the days go by in frames
And wondered why they each had names
They all so seemed the same
Inside my brain
I don't know who could say
They used their time in the best way
One day is just a door to one day more
In all the steps I took, the photographs and the songs I wrote
Trying to fill my bag with memories
Under my chest an emptiness
But one day stood out above the rest
The one part of me would stay in forever
Every lonely hour
Reached back to hold one petal from a flower
Oh a ripe heart's only wish is to be with another
At the end of all history
Let just one thing be left of me
What could you do in just one day
Fall in love, spend your time away
A million years of time it took
For our eyes to align to share the look
Of every day at once
That I was luck alive to feel the love
Give in your smile to me
It told the everlasting why
One day I'm all alone
About to turn myself to stones
A few more for the waves to wash away
When suddenly you look at me
You opened up eternity
Two hearts on either side
Turned into each other
At the end of all history
Let just one thing be left of me
What could you do in just one day
Fall in love, spend your time away
