Lyrics

One Less Day

[Verse 1]
Sunlight on the table
Half a cup of cold coffee
Messages I never answered
Stacked like old magazines
I used to chase the hours
Like somebody owed me more time
Till I saw the calendar
Was cutting from the other side

[Chorus]
It’s not one more day
It’s one less day
Folding like paper
Fading away
So I’m holding your hand
A little longer
Letting small moments
Grow stronger
When I feel time slipping away
I remember
It’s one less day

[Verse 2]
Traffic on a Tuesday
I used to curse every red light
Now I watch the strangers waiting
Wonder what they’re worried about
We cancel all our dinners
For a little extra overtime
Then wonder why the people we love
Start drifting out of frame

[Chorus]
It’s not one more day
It’s one less day
Folding like paper
Fading away
So I’m calling your name
A little sooner
Telling the truth
A little truer
When I feel time slipping away
I remember
It’s one less day

[Bridge]
What if this laugh
Is the last one we share? (mm)
What if this hug
Is the last one I wear?
Would I scroll past your picture
Or look up and say
“Sit down, stay a while
We’re spending this day”

[Chorus]
It’s not one more day
It’s one less day
So I’ll fill it with faces
Not things I can’t take
I’m holding your hand
A little longer
Letting our quiet
Grow stronger
When I feel time slipping away
I remember
It’s one less day
(one less day)
