One By One

I loved a girl once And she was very young Everyday I wonder What I could've done Now she's sitting somewhere Where the walls are all white Losing herself underneath Those fluorescent lights Each day goes by Where the world looks the same Where the seasons come and change But I find myself the way I came And I've lost all the things That I lost in you From losing ourselves In each other like we use to do Time moves on and those moments That I held in my heart each day Have now disappeared Oh well the mountains stare at the face of the sun The sky smiles down on everyone We all wonder what we could've done We end up passing One By One One By One One By One One By One One By One Like a flower dancing By the side of the wind Like a tree growing thin I had nothing to believe in Cause now the wind blows through me On the side of the road Like a freight train Howling in the belly of my soul Now the ocean's nestled In a blanket of stars Dreaming by the streetlights Dreaming by a freeway of cars The mountains stare at the face of the sun The sky smiles down on everyone We all wonder what we could've done We end up passing One By One One By One One By One One By One One By One I lost my brother when I was very young To a drug he never knew Cause he could not remember what he'd done It was my first taste of fear in the hospital hall Staring through a window at his eyes That were black as coal And even though something inside of him died He left the room a different person But he made it out alive Oh he'd switch our cereals in the morning Out of fear of being poisoned By the people that had raised him By the people that put him here Oh but time moves on And those moments That I held in my heart each day Have now disappeared Oh the mountains stare at the face of the sun The sky smiles down on everyone We all wonder what we could've done We end up passing One By One One By One One By One The mountains stare at the face of the sun The sky smiles down on everyone We all wonder what we could've done We all end up passing One By One One By One One By One One By One One By One One By One One By One
