Chuck Ellis - One Day Lyrics

One day when you wake up
And realize that you gave up
I hope you don't make up
Any more excuses for yourself
Wish that we could look back
Be proud that we could do that
Like showering curtains and bath mats
Determinated uses off the shelf

When did you know
Gritted teeth and squatting low
Smiled at me and wanted to show
Hopin I'd know you were strong
But the play fighting coughed
And the laughter was holding the phone
The gavel had dropped
And the sentence was being alone
The wine was all drunk
And the meat had been sucked off the bone
Where are you going
Where are you going
Where are you going
I'll follow you home

One day will you hear me out
Buy a place right near my mouth
Where I'd say sweet little things that I know about you
Beauty came to visit once
Then stayed away for months and months
But everything that she told me was true

When did you know
Gritted teeth and squatting low
Smiled at me and wanted to show
Hopin I'd know you were strong
But the play fighting coughed
And the laughter was holding the phone
The gavel had dropped
And the sentence was being alone
The wine was all drunk
And the meat had been sucked off the bone
Where are you going
Where are you going
Where are you going
I'll follow you home"
