One Less Day (Dying Young) - Rob Thomas & Ingrid Michaelson

Oh, love of mine Look what you've done You've taken the pieces of me You fixed them up Oh, love of mine Look what we've become Two wandering souls That somehow turned into one 'Til death do us part I'll be right where you are When we finally get to the end of our lives I'll leave just before you, so I won't have to cry Before your last breath I'll go up ahead I'll be waiting for you, hold your place in the line As we walk through the gates Down the streets painted white However long you live I hope I exist one day less Your tenderness Is all that I know What would I do without you To have and to hold? You're Heaven-sent And I hope you know That when you go back to the sky I'll welcome you home 'Til death do us part I'll be right where you are When we finally get to the end of our lives I'll leave just before you, so I won't have to cry Before your last breath I'll go up ahead I'll be waiting for you, hold your place in the line As we walk through the gates, down the streets painted white However long you live I hope I exist one day less When we finally get to the end of our lives I'll leave just before you, so I don't have to cry However long you live I hope I exist one day less

Here we stand Somewhere in between this moment and the end Will we bend? Or will we open up and take this whole thing in? Everybody else is smiling And their smiles don't fade And you don't even wonder Why you just don't think that way Maybe you and me got lost somewhere We can't move or we can't stay here Well, maybe we've just had enough Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love You and me tried everything But still that mockingbird won't sing Well man, this life seems hard enough Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love Take my hand And I will lead you through the broken promise land Yes I can, oh yes I can I can be there when you need it I'll give it all 'til you can't feel it anymore I don't wanna love you now If you'll just leave someday I don't wanna turn around If you'll just walk away Maybe you and me got lost somewhere We can't move or we can't stay here Well, maybe we've just had enough Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love You and me tried everything But still that mockingbird won't sing Well man, this life seems hard enough Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love Maybe you and me got lost somewhere We can't move or we can't stay here Well, maybe we've just had enough Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love You and me tried everything But still that mockingbird won't sing Well man, this life seems hard enough Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love Maybe we ain't meant for this love Maybe we ain't meant for this love

I was born on a bad sign Saw the best in the worst times Had a run with some good lines All fear and alibi Had a laugh for a good while And all my tears were crocodile I came down hard a million miles away And here I am So let it fall around our feet I'm with you and you're with me And you're the only one I think about these days We may win or we may lose All I know is that I'd choose it all again And how I feel could never fade Life is funny that way That way I was raised on a fault line Thought the faults were all mine I drank so hard I almost died Most of the time But what the hell do I know When I just go where the wind blows All this time and all I know Is I don't know so much So let it fall around our feet I'm with you and you're with me And you're the only one I think about these days We may win or we may lose All I know is that I'd choose it all again And how I feel could never fade And now I never thought I was enough I never thought I pulled my weight I painted the lines until I was drawn But I'm not sure that it looks like me I was born on a bad sign Saw the best in the worst times Singing all of the wrong lines all my life So let it fall around our feet I'm with you and you're with me And you're the only one I think about these days We may win or we may lose All I know is that I'd choose it all again And how I feel could never fade Life is funny that way That way
