Just One Day.....


Verse -

They say go to school
Follow the rules
You're bound to find a job

They say I should
Stay home today
Only to hit my stop

Most of ya'll already got there
With no one waiting here
To congratulate
Not even with a break

 

Bridge -

They chose to make it hard on you
Till that day
You must pay
Stare at the moon with no stars
You're bound to lose who you are

 

Chorus -

You said one, You said one
But now I have to wait
Well I'm done
Why should I have to stay

You said one, You said one
But now I have to wait
Well I'm done
Why should I have to stay

Well I'm done
Why should I have to stay
Well I'm well on my way
