One More Year by The Dead Century Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It’s seven minutes after midnight
My eyes are burning and I need some sleep
Beneath the yellow of streetlight
I see snow flicker down

I should’ve known I’d destroy this
Making promises I couldn’t keep
But I’m beginning to notice
That I never liked this town

[Verse 2]
There’s never anything to do here
The streets are empty and the bars are all closed
And it’s increasingly unclear
If I’m capable of change

I guess I don’t mind the heartache
Think it’s the silence that I hate the most
Memories of every mistake
They scream louder that way
[Chorus]
I’ll tell you what we’ll do dear
We’ll pack our bags and get the hell out of this town
Only me and you dear
Finally find that place to settle down
We’re gonna make it through dear
Find a place with nothing else around
Just give it one more year
Just give it one more year

[Verse 3]
I know you doubt I can change this
I know your confidence is wearing thin
But trust me I’d never say this
In any other circumstance

And all your memories of me
Read like a litany of all my sins
But darling you’ve got to trust me
All we need is one last chance

[Chorus]
I’ll tell you what we’ll do dear
We’ll pack our bags and get the hell out of this town
Only me and you dear
Finally find that place to settle down
We’re gonna make it through dear
Find a place with nothing else around
Just give it one more year
Just give it one more year
[Bridge]
All this waiting
All this hoping
Always guessing
Never knowing

Never starting
Never growing
We can fix this
Let me show you
