Future Islands - One Day Lyrics






I'm done being brave
This bitter tongue won't save me now
Wet from the rain
Looking like you
Handled like a jewel
Searching some odd rule
To save me from the flames
What the candle says...
"Keep me by the bed
Pet my weary head"
Oh! If these walls could speak to me
Or sing these eyes to sleep
For what is broken is in the past
As this perfect pitch won't last
And so it goes
The bird sings low
The way I feel

And you don't have to say that it's real
And you don't have to stay, if it's not how you feel
And you will go your way
And it will never be the same
But we'll be stronger when we meet again, one day

One for me and one for you
One is white and one is blue
One for baby, one for truth
All alone, to feel brand new
And what we seek is what we choose
And how we weep is where we lose
All alone in baby's shoes
All alone to feel brand new

And you don't have to stay
And you don't have to say
And you don't have to brave this on your own
And you will go your way
And it will never be the same
But we'll be stronger when we meet again, one day

Let me help you make the bed
And help you tear it down again
Tell me something meaningful
Just tell me something that you mean
There's one for me and one for you
One is white and one is blue
All alone, in baby's shoes
All alone is what we choose

And no matter, what happens, to me and you
We'll emit light and burst into stars
And you will go your way
And it will never be the same
But we'll be stronger when we meet again one day
One day...

    I saw Future Islands at Brooklyn Steel a couple years ago with a couple girls. We danced the entire concert. We danced on the street after the concert, still high from the performance. I have fond memories of that night.

  18. M.... C....

    Why this isn't in Spotify? :(

  19. D.... D....

    Put this song on Apple Music please

    For some reason his voice takes me back to earlier time in my life even though I’m just hearing this now. His voice transcends time.

    Put this on Spotify. I beg

  28. T.... N....

    *_MFr ! I love y’all’s sound_*

    ... & your poetic truths are sooooooo god-damn deep that I believe most haven’t ever had to LIVE hard enough to even comprehend their INTENSELY WISE AF meanings.

    May you always be blessed & May your troubles have turned into no more than songs, complex & perfected as they are.

    *_Thx u for truth_* 🤙

  29. C.... G....

    Amazing song wish it was on spotify

  30. L.... F....

    Please come to the DPAC in Durham NC or carolina theatre in Durham nc

  31. S.... ....

    Great track. I don't know why they didn't slot it into Far Field. The only place to find it now is on the "Seasons" 7" b-side. It deserves better than that.

  32. M.... S....

    Sinto algo tão forte quando escuto essa musica, parece que meu corpo não vai aguentar e irei morrer !

  33. U.... ....

  42. M.... A....

    Thank you...

  43. G.... S....

    I listen to this song at least twice a day.

  44. S.... K....

    Suenan fantásticos!!!!

  45. C.... ....

    How can a song this beautiful exist and not be available for purchase? Would have fit extremely well with the rest of the material on The Far Field, and obviously would have been fantastic on Singles. Oh well, I'll just have to enjoy everything else they do and come to Youtube for this I guess...

  46. L.... A....

    Me fascinó. Los espero aquí en Lima, Perú. ☘

  47. F.... M....

    Welcome to Lima this 5/7/2018.

  48. J.... E....

  50. Y.... B....

    beautiful

  51. f.... ....

    I need this track other than on YouTube why !!!😣😞😭

  52. e.... ....

    If i had to listen to one song and only one it would be this one, i cant express how it makes me feel and how much i love this song but it has helped me though bad times and i love it so much, thanks for creating something so wonderful

  53. H.... C....

  56. R.... M....

    What a voice and what a song! The unofficial soundtrack to my life. Thank you for the tunes Future Islands x

  57. A.... C....

    This reminds me so much of a Miguel Bosé song called "Si tú no vuelves". Just the intro. Pretty 80s.

  58. I.... R....

    What a band only started following these.....

  59. A.... W....

    ugh! that singer guy gives me the creeps ..., and by no means in a good way...
