"One More Day" - Jesse Johnson
“One More Day” lyrics
Looking back on the memories
It wasn’t so long ago
We were so young and without concerns
But then faster than we could acknowledge what happened
The darkness came for you
Now it’s all a blur
In a moment, I lost everything
No goodbye, just regrets for all the things
That I wish I had said
When I hesitated instead
But now it’s too late
My contentment is an act
The truth is, those years went by too fast
And secretly I still want more
What I would not give
For just one more day
To spend with you until you fade again
Chorus:
Looking back on our adventures
I still can’t move on
Wanting to hold you again
Easier said ‘cause
Everything still makes me think of you
I’d give up everything
For just one more day with you
It’s too soon to say goodbye
Though I should let go, and yes, I’ve tried
But I still carry you inside
Now and then I wonder where we’d be
If you had not gone
So here’s til we meet again (chorus 2x)
Notes:
These lyrics were inspired by the film “Fatherhood.” My wife and I saw this very sad movie together, and it hit us hard. Very good movie. Fantastic performance by Kevin Hart also. Definitely some Yellowcard vibes in here too!
