One More Day
J Rice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I walk along a lonely street
And I'm overcome with all my fears
Take my sleeve and then I wipe my cheek
In that instant I have no more tears

So why... do I...
Still hurt...
Maybe everything I know is wrong
I Never wanted to be gone this long
Close my eyes and all I see is you
But everyday you lose a shade or two

And time... will bring you back...
To me... so I guess I'll wait...
For one more day...

One more day...
One more day one more day...
So I guess I'll wait for one more day

One more day... one more day
One more... day...
And I guess I'll wait... for one more day

Ooo... oo one... seems so long...

What if one more day is not enough
Wait a year, and then you're still not here
You find someone and fall so deep in love
While I'm waiting you just disappear

Then I... I'll still hurt...
Ohh... yeah

sometimes
I let my worries get the best of me
When I know inside they'll never be




Can't help but think what time will do...
When I'm so far away from you
