One day
Wankelmut Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wankelmut's song "One day" depict a person who has moved on from a past relationship but still thinks about their former partner from time to time. The person has managed to dry their tears and is no longer constantly overwhelmed by emotions. However, the rare times they think about their ex-partner, it leaves them wondering why things didn't work out between them. The chorus, "One day baby we'll be old, oh baby, we'll be old, and think of all the stories that we could have told" expresses the regret and nostalgia that the person feels about the relationship. They recognize that they will grow even older and potentially be more disillusioned as they look back on their life, causing them to consider what could have been if things had worked out with their ex.


Overall, the lyrics are an introspective reflection on a past relationship that did not work out. The singer has moved on but still feels the weight of what could have been, even as they age.
