One Day / Reckoning Song
The Mojos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day, baby, we'll be old
Oh, baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

One day, baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
(One day)
(One day)

No more tears, my heart is dry
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't think about you all the time
But when I do, I wonder why

No more tears, my heart is dry
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't think about you all the time
But when I do, I wonder why

No more tears, my heart is dry
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't think about you all the time
But when I do, I wonder why

No more tears, my heart is dry
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't think about you all the time
But when I do, I wonder why

One day, baby, we'll be old
Oh, baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

One day, baby, we'll be old
Oh, baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old (old, old, old, old)

One day, baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

One day, baby, we'll be old
Oh, baby, we'll be old
Oh, baby, we'll be old
Oh, baby we'll be one

(One day)

One day, baby, we'll be old
Oh, baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

One day, baby, we'll be old
Oh, baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

One day, baby, we'll be old
Oh, baby, we'll be old
Oh, baby, we'll be old
Oh, baby we'll be

One, day baby, we'll be old
Oh, baby, we'll be old
Think of all the stories that we could have told

One day, baby, we'll be old




Oh, baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Mojos's song "One Day / Reckoning Song" speak about the idea of aging and the regret that can come with it. The repetition in the chorus of "One day, baby, we'll be old" emphasizes the inevitability of aging and the passing of time. The lines "And think of all the stories that we could have told" suggest a longing for a life filled with memorable experiences and adventures, with the regret that time will eventually run out.


The lines "No more tears, my heart is dry, I don't laugh and I don't cry" suggest that the singer has moved on from a past hurt or heartbreak. However, they still occasionally think about the person who caused them pain and wonder why they still hold onto those memories. The overall message of the song seems to be the importance of living life to the fullest and making the most of one's time before it runs out.


Line by Line Meaning

One day, baby, we'll be old
At some point in the future, my significant other and I will be old


Oh baby, we'll be old
We will grow old together


And think of all the stories that we could have told
We will reflect on our lives together and all the stories we could have shared


No more tears, my heart is dry
I have moved on from my past heartbreak and I am no longer emotional about it


I don't laugh and I don't cry
My feelings towards my past heartbreak are numb


I don't think about you all the time
I am no longer consumed by thoughts of my past lover


But when I do, I wonder why
However, when thoughts of my past lover do come up, I question why I ever felt that way about them

Lyrics:
No more tears, my heart is dry
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't think about you all the time
But when I do I wonder why
You have to go out of my door
And leave just like you did before
I know I said that I was sure
But rich men can't imagine poor.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told
Little me and little you
Kept doing all the things they do
They never really think it through
Like I can never think you're true
Here I go again the blame
The guilt, the pain, the hurt, the shame
The founding fathers of our plane
That's stuck in heavy clouds of rain.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told.
One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told.
