At the time of their hit, "Everything's Alright", the band consisted of lead singer Stuart James, guitarist Nicky Crouch, keyboardist Terry O'Toole, bassist Keith Karlson and drummer John Konrad.

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)
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
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.

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

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

This song once meant a lot to me. It reminds me of some lost prospects, some lost friendships, lost love. It has honestly been a journey, but I would never change the past. Looking back those are the greatest memories of my life and I had never felt so free, and thought the future feels so bleak and lonely I'm so glad to have had those experiences with that special person.

I bumped into this on Spotify. I can't stop listening. "One day baby we'll be old, and think of all the stories that we could have told." The music alone would have been enough to hold me it's so moving, but throw in that gut wrenching lyric over and over, and wow.
