One by One

Leave us to decide

Lead us or leave it all behind

Help us to break the chain that binds

And see where the road before us winds

Whether for your sake or for mine

You know we've already died

The leaves grew withered from inside

The man you hear came back to life

I hope he sticks around this time

I hope this new you can survive

You may not like what I say, but you know what I'm saying

If they were another way to return to the sun, neither one of us could stay where the tide's gravitating

I would rather sail away two by two, or one by one

(one by one)

I know that once upon a time,

You knew a man

That man has died, and he ain't coming back to life

I know that all this time you're wondering in silence

I assure you

That the man you knew is no longer alive

You may not like what I say, but you know what I'm saying

If they were another way to return to the sun, neither one of us could stay where the tide's gravitating

I would rather sail away two by two, or one by one

(one by one)

I know that once upon a time,

You knew a man

That man has died, and he ain't coming back to life

I know that all this time you're wondering in silence

I assure you

That the man you knew is no longer alive
