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
