Future Islands One Day Lyrics

I'm done being brave
This bitter tongue won't save -- me now
Wet from the rain
Looking like you
Handled like a jewel
Searching some odd rule
To save me from the flames
What the candle says...
"Keep me by the bed
Pet my weary head"
Oh! If these walls could speak to me
Or sing these eyes to sleep
For what is broken is in the past
As this perfect pitch won't last
And so it goes
The bird sings low
The way i feel

And you don't have to say that it's real
And you don't have to stay, if it's not how you feel
And you will go your way
And it will never be the same
But we'll be stronger when we meet again, one day

One for me and one for you
One is white and one is blue
One for baby, one for truth
All alone, to feel brand new
And what we seek is what we choose And how we weep is where we lose
All alone in baby's shoes
All alone to feel brand new

And you don't have to stay
And you don't have to say
And you don't have to brave this on your own
And you will go your way
And it will never be the same
But we'll be stronger when we meet again, one day

Let me help you make the bed
And help you tear it down again
Tell me something meaningful
Just tell me something that you mean
There's one for me and one for you
One is white and one is blue
All alone, in baby's shoes
All alone is what we choose

And no matter, what happens, to me and you
We'll emit light and burst into stars
And you will go your way
And it will never be the same
But we'll be stronger when we meet again one day
One day...
