One More Year

He was walking across the wire holding a loaded gun Taking out every light bulb one by one And she was building brand new walls to keep her safe and sound Sometimes a place to live is just a place to hide One more year, one more year Let's hold our breath and give it just one more year We were sparks and gasoline, all fire and command The warmest comfort dies in the coldest hands And she was two steps from the edge but holding on somehow Even God himself couldn't blame her now One more year, one more year Let's hold our breath and give it just one more year Now he's working on a plan, learning to make her smile Maybe a change of pace or a change of style When she's walking across the wire holding a loaded gun Hoping that what we feel ain't what we've become One more year, one more year Let's hold our breath and give it just one more year One more year, one more year Let's hold our breath and give it just one more year
