One Day lyrics

I'm done being brave

This bitter tongue won't save--me now

Wet from the rain

Looking like you

Handled like a jewel

Searching some odd rule

To save me from the flames

What the candle says...

"Keep me by the bed

Pet my weary head."

Oh! If these walls could speak to me

Or sing these eyes to sleep

For what is broken is in the past

As this perfect pitch won't last

And so it goes

The bird sings low

The way I feel.

And you don't have to say that it's real

And you don't have to stay, if it's not how you feel

And you will go your way

And it will never be the same

But we'll be stronger when we meet again, one day.

One for me and one for you

One is white and one is blue

One for baby, one for truth

All alone, to feel brand new

And what we seek is what we choose

And how we weep is where we lose

All alone in baby's shoes

All alone to feel brand new.

And you don't have to stay

And you don't have to say

And you don't have to brave this on your own

And you will go your way

And it will never be the same

But we'll be stronger when we meet again, one day.

Let me help you make the bed

And help you tear it down again

Tell me something meaningful

Just tell me something that you mean

There's one for me and one for you

One is white and one is blue

All alone, in baby's shoes

All alone is what we choose.

And no matter, what happens, to me and you

We'll emit light and burst into stars

And you will go your way

And it will never be the same

But we'll be stronger when we meet again one day

One day...
