Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If the stack is high against you
And the hammer's coming down
And the time that's yours lies heavy in your hands
Oh, my sentimental friend
The fast much reach an end (One day)
[Verse 2]
Lying face down on the cold stone
And they give their all to you
But their all is slipping through your hands
Oh, my sentimental friends
Your time will come again (One day)
[Verse 3]
One day (One day)
Where I didn't die a thousand times
Where I could satisfy this life of mine
One small day
One day (One day)
Where every hour could be a joy to me
And live a life the way it's meant to be
One small day
[Verse 4]
How many times has it turned against you?
How many times will they walk away?
How many times have you let depression win the fight?
Oh, my sentimental friend
We'll walk as one again (One day)
[Verse 5]
One day (One day)
Where I didn't die a thousand times
Where I could satisfy this life of mine
One small day
One day (One day)
Where every hour could be a joy to me
And live a life the way it's meant to be
One small day
[Verse 6]
Walk away
Turned against you
Walk away
Turned against you
Walk away
How many times has it turned against you?
How many times will they walk away?
[Verse 7]
One day (One day)
Where I didn't die a thousand times
Where I could satisfy this life of mine
One day (One day)
Where every hour could be a joy to me
And live a life the way it's meant to be
[Verse 8]
One day (One day)
Where I wouldn't feel my senses die
Where nothing made me hang my head and cry
One day (One day)
Where I could see myself as others do
Where I could feel the strength of love at hand
[Verse 9]
One day (One day)
Where I didn't die a thousand times
Where I could satisfy this life of mine
One day (One day)
Where every hour could be a joy to me
And live a life the way it's meant to be
[Verse 10]
One day (One day)
Where I didn't die a thousand times
Where I could satisfy this life of mine...
