John Smith - One Day at a Time Lyrics

How do you get over
One day at a time?
Between two wide expanses
Walk a fine line
At times I lose focus
I don't know how to pray
And nobody's listening
On the first day of the rest
Just the rest of my life

I've been staring at the same old dreams
Until they roll away
At the start of every day
Nothing's as it seems

I've been chewing on this brand new pain
It just sits in me
Like the words on the page
There's nothing in between

I want to believe
There's a reason
Some way of making sense

I have wasted so much precious time
Drank some years away
Until it came to light that
I needed something else to be

I tell you darling
Oh this pain I couldn't have dreamt it
It's hard to just accept it
And though we'll never meet
My love you're still a part of me

Give me reprieve
Or just nothing
A stillness in the breath
