One More Year Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Slowly becomes all we do

[Chorus]
I never wanted any other way to spend our lives
I know we promised we'd be doing this 'til we die
So now I feel we might
Ooh, now I feel we might

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
I never wanted any other way to spend our lives
Now all my days is gonna be the last for a time
For a time
One more year

First off, I would like to say that this song is awesome. I was really impressed. Now, to my thoughts on the song....

I think this song is about being wistful about a relationship and looking back on it and regretting ever leaving it, thus getting “One More Year” away from the day he left that relationship.
