lyrics

I’m so sorry that your will has been broken
We fell asleep with the windows open
Cause keeping this apartment cool
Is expensive
Some day our lives will be admired
But I know right now
Your body is tired
From working every day to barely even make
Enough to pay the bills

One day at a time now honey
And I wish that we had more money
To take some weight off of your shoulders
When we’re older I swear
We’ll have it made
I wanna give you a picket fence and a
Nice house to raise our kids and a
Piece of mind to relieve your stress
But all you ever ask for is my best

Take a gamble on a brand new city
And pray to god that things will be less shitty
Said to goodbye to all our friends and family
But winter’s coming and we love cold weather
Got decent jobs and things are getting better
Who knew twenty-three
Would demand so much from me
It’s exhausting

One day at a time now honey
And I wish that we had more money
To take some weight off of your shoulders
When we’re older I swear
We’ll have it made
I wanna give you a picket fence and a
Nice house to raise our kids and a
Piece of mind to relieve your stress
But all you ever ask for is my best

I’ll be yours til everything goes dark
They’ll bury us together if they’re smart
Bodies intertwined like ancient art
Cause we’ve never slept six feet apart.
