One More Day

Verse 1

Twenty-two with a rented room

Nothing worth a dime

My old man called on a Tuesday night

Said your mother's doing fine

I said I'm busy

I said next month

I hung up before he spoke

Now the phone just rings

And nobody's home

And that promise went up in smoke

Pre-Chorus

You think time is a river

It's a rope that's burning fast

You think you got forever

Forever never lasts

Chorus

You don't know what you have

Until it's gone gone gone

Precious little life

Moving on and on

You don't know what you have

Until it slips away

Precious little life

Don't waste another day

Verse 2

Best friend laughed at my stupid jokes

We swore we'd never change

He drove home in the pouring rain

Now I say his name

To an empty chair

To a photograph

To a stone out in the field

Everything I meant to say

I swallowed years ago

And now the truth is sealed

Pre-Chorus

You think time is a river

It's a rope that's burning fast

You think you got forever

Forever never lasts

Chorus

You don't know what you have

Until it's gone gone gone

Precious little life

Moving on and on

You don't know what you have

Until it slips away

Precious little life

Don't waste another day

Bridge

Hold them closer

Hold them now

Call them back

Before the silence

Call them back

Before the silence

Call them back

Guitar Solo

Chorus

You don't know what you have

Until it's gone gone gone

Precious little life

Moving on and on

You don't know what you have

Until it slips away

Precious little life

Don't waste another day

Outro

Don't waste another day

Don't waste another day
