One By One

(Album: Hope & Ruin - 2011)

Driving for days through North Ontario
Can't find a station on the radio
I'm cold and lonely in the afterglow
An empty bar and uninspired show

I hate myself for being miserable
A six day binge is bound to do it though
I wish that I could be invisible
We're three weeks in and out of control

One by one every heart is a loaded gun
One by one every heart is a loaded gun

I've been shot down and I've been torn apart
Living out songs about a broken heart
Blinding ambition, stabbing in the dark
And waiting for a better life to start

One by one every heart is a loaded gun

If I fall apart, stumbling in the dark, going way too far
If I fall apart will it leave a scar on my loaded heart if I fall apart

Driving for days through North Ontario
Can't find a station on the radio
I'm cold and lonely in the afterglow
An empty bar and uninspired show

With every turn we learn to take it slow
Redemption waiting further down the road
We change and everything is temporal
And time will tell us where we've got to go

One by one
One by one
One by one every heart is a loaded gun
One by one every heart is a loaded gun
One by one every heart is a loaded gun
One by one a heavy heart is a setting sun
