One Day At A Time

[Verse 1:]
Let's face the truth
Sooner or later, no matter what somebody has to lose
I'll be on the road and you're going to school in Baton Rouge
And I promise you the world might love, but what's this?
But what's this?
I can't explain how it feels like we have it all
When everything's bound to change
I'm fearing that I lose my place inside of your picture frames
And I promise you the world might love, but we can't stay.

[Chorus:]
Tonight, we're saying goodbye, chain-smoking cigarettes
We lie, pretend it's alright
I say you'll always be mine, don't know what happens next
We'll find some way to get by one day at a time.

[Verse 2:]
I know it's hard
I'm dreading the moment I see you pack all that shit in your car
When one of us walks out the door all alone with a broken heart
So let's make the most of this moment before it all falls apart.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Whatever's meant to be, just hold your head up
No matter where we go, I'm on your side
Let's not make it out like we are fed up
There's just no controlling when it's time.

[Chorus:]
Tonight, we're saying goodbye, chain-smoking cigarettes
We lie, pretend it's alright
I say you'll always be mine, don't know what happens next
We'll find some way to get by one day at a time.

[Bridge:]
Baby, baby, leave for the road
You don't need my permission to go on your own
So don't act crazy and turn around when you realize
The future's hazy, just keep that piece of shit in drive.

[Chorus:]
Tonight, we're saying goodbye, chain-smoking cigarettes
We lie, pretend it's alright
I say you'll always be mine, don't know what happens next
We'll find some way to get by one day at a time
Tonight, we're saying goodbye, chain-smoking cigarettes
We lie, pretend it's alright
I say you'll always be mine, don't know what happens next
We'll find some way to get by one day at a time.
