Lyrics One day - Paperboys

One day

I sit alone with my thoughts and try to capture the essence of knowledge itself
I look for something solid so a bottle won’t help
And I don’t wanna bother nobody else so I’m alone again
Feeling like a part of me is gone with my friend
So I pretend that I’m dead but it makes no difference
The only way to clear my head is in these weights I’m lifting
I feel my fate shifting out of my hands
The way I used to be so proud now its clear, I dont understand
Things ain’t what they used to be
And though this pain really ain’t new to me
I’m living life and playing so foolishly!
So lord lead me, give me the strength
I know that you’ve already given me sense and I appreciate it
It’s all so wet now when recreated, but whats the science?
I know it ain’t much by hey I’m tryin
Feelin so fucked and I ain’t lying, there’s darkness in me
And everyday it’s getting harder to breathe
(See one day)
See we survive but it never ends
(We're gonna find our way)
And catch a vibe feelin' heaven sent
(And then a place to stay)
See I’ve been livin just dealin' with what I’m given
Thinkin this is really somethin when it isn’t
(If I may)
Just fly 'em by
(And let me find my way)
And it’s why I’m high
(And there ain’t nothin I can say)
My window, why are we this way?
I swear to god I never fracture my honesty
So they ask what the fuck’s wrong with me
But see the way I act how I’m born to be
And normally I wouldn’t bother with nothing at all
But now I’m in the rain feelin' part of the water that falls
And every fuckin breath I take, I realize I know that lifes full of lessons
You can never be safe, so I’m lyin here wide-awake tryin' to find a place
While I’m planning my escape I recline into this state
So I need me a place I can chill and take it easy
Breathe freely, hear the swell, smellin seaweed
With trees and the leaves, that we ought to be given
But for now I’m just lost in the rythm
(See one day)
See we survive but it never ends
(We're gonna find our way)
And catch a vibe feelin' heaven sent
(And then a place to stay)
See I’ve been livin just dealin' with what I’ve been given
Thinkin this is really somethin when it isn’t
(If I may)
Just fly 'em by
(And let me find my way)
And it’s why I’m high
(And there ain’t nothin I can say)
My window, why are we this way?
Sometimes I wonder what it’s all for
Coz when it rains it pours
And I don’t wanna play these games anymore
See, I just wanna be assured it was worth it
And maybe just for one day, I get it right and life will be perfect
Coz I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I’ve been
And I can feel the wind blowing holding on with my friends
Coz in the end it’s in them and in my family I trust
That makes me proud, goddamnit it’s us!
I know I’m blessed, every part of me
Chest, neck and arteries
Like Moses when he parted the sea (someone's watching)
Life ain’t what it started out to be
I’ve come to realize that it’s all up to me
So I’m running down my options
Waiting opportunities, give my man a helping hand of jewelry
Trying to understand and join the lunacy
Coz soon as people see and tune in to the frequency
They realize what humans do to humans deep in secrecy
They might just see there ain’t much hope left to go around
Things ain’t getting better and the globe ain’t slowing down
And knowing what we know now, we ought to know better
But since we gotta go, let’s go together
(See one day)
See we survive but it never ends
(We're gonna find our way)
And catch a vibe feelin' heaven sent
(And then a place to stay)
See I’ve been livin just dealin' with what I’ve been given
Thinkin this is really somethin when it isn’t
(If I may)
Just fly 'em by
(And let me find my way)
And it’s why I’m high
(And there ain’t nothin I can say)
My window, why are we this way?
