One More Day
LYDIA. Lyrics

The lyrics of “One More Day” by LYDIA. is a poetic reflection of a love that has become increasingly complicated, and yet still valuable. The song speaks to the hesitancy that one experiences when trying to navigate the complexities of a relationship. The singer tells us of their own experience of being unable to stay in a relationship that is not working, but at the same time, they still hold on to the hope of fixing things.

The opening lines, “Well I saw you fall back once love, but I can't stay”, indicate that the singer has seen their partner stumble or struggle before. The next line, “Stay like this weather swirls”, suggests that the instability in the relationship is mirrored in the instability of the weather. The singer then goes on to describe their partner’s current state, comparing them to a “sick winter girl”. This imagery suggests that their partner might be feeling unwell, both physically and emotionally.

The chorus of “One More Day” maintains a hopeful tone, with the singer assuring their partner that they still have them, even if they feel like they’ve lost their mind. The second verse addresses the challenges of trying to maintain a relationship when both parties are struggling. The singer reveals their own need for reassurance, asking their partner to stay up late so they can be sure that they won’t stray too far. The final lines express a hopefulness that the struggles will eventually be overcome: “One more day, just one more, I'd Stay If I ever could, Stay if I ever could, And pick up your pieces babe, Cause there's never a perfect day”.
