One More Year

(album: The Slow Rush - 2020)

Do you remember, we were standing here a year ago
Our minds were racing and time went slow
If there was trouble in the world, we didn't know
If we had a care, it didn't show
But now I worry our horizon's been nothing new
'Cause I get this feeling and maybe you get it too
We're on a rollercoaster stuck on its loop-de-loop
'Cause what we did, one day, on a whim
Has slowly become all we do

I never wanted any other way to spend our lives
I know we promised we'd be doing this 'til we die
And now I fear we might
Ooh, now I fear we might

But it's okay
I think there's a way
Why don't we just say, "One more year"? (One more year)
Not worrying if I get the right amount of sleep (One more year)
Not caring if we do the same thing every week (One more year)
Of living like I'm only living for me (One more year)
Of never talking about where we're gonna be (One more year)
One more year
Of living like the free spirit I wanna be

We got a whole year (One more year)
Fifty-two weeks
Seven days each (One more year)
Four seasons
One reason
One way
One year (One more year)
One year
One year
From today
From today

I never wanted any other way to spend our lives
Now one of these is gonna be the last for all time
For all time
One more year
