One Day.
Hey, hello, here I am again
Sittin' here, doing nothing, just thinking
Thinking of yesterday, yeah it was simpler then
A time when this ship was sailing, not sinking.
Oh, there's so many things I'd like to say
Some good, some bad, some happy, some sad
No, I can't explain why we live this way
All I can say is that you're a lady, and I'm a lad.
Loneliness is a bitter poison, it's a sour pill
There's so much for me to say, so much to spill
Sometimes I wonder if you know, if you even have a clue
A clue about just how hard my heart thumps for you.
The slightest slight, and I'm taken aback
You were the last person from which I expected such a thing
Now I'm wondering, is it compassion or tact that you lack?
Girl, can't you see that you've got my heart in a sling?
And now I find myself backed into a corner
My whole life's a funeral, and you're just a mourner
I hate what I must do, it's quite the plight
But you must learn, you must know everything's not alright.
Will you even notice? Will you even care?
Could it even possibly affect you as much as me?
I don't see how, and this burden is more than I can bear
All I'm asking for is the chance to one day make you see.
They say young love is meaningless and trivial
Hell, they might be right, but they're not very original
How can they judge something that has no meaning?
Love isn't a term, it's a goddamn feeling!
Then there are those that say love conquers all
And people like me, spending time preparing for the next fall
And people like you, loving life, seeking out the next thrill
Is it possible for us to collide? Is it possible to climb that hill?
We're so alike, and yet so different from one another
It's a question of balance really, a question of belief
Can you set it all aside and hear me like no other?
Believe me when I say you're the one that can bring me relief.
I've played it out in my head a thousand times
No, I won't talk like this, I won't use any rhymes
All I'll do is express myself the best way I can
And hope when I'm done that you'll take me by the hand.
I just ask that you give me one evening one day
One day in which everything else is put aside and left behind for fate
And I can think of no better day, no better time to do this my way
Than in the summer, the summer of two thousand and eight.
