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 the day I used to think there was no way For us to know which 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 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 that I took The photographs, the songs I wrote Trying to fill my bag with memories Under my chest an emptiness One day stood out above the rest The one part of me would stay in forever Every lonely hour They 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 am 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 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
