One Day at a Time

You got to go when your heart's not in it
You got to know when you've reached a limit
But I don't think that we're anywhere near that

But you take an inch if it's there to take
And you stop the bend just before it breaks
And we always return to where we were at

Yes, I know that we're always only one day at a time
I don't know if my heart's gonna break before it blows my mind

I need to see that there's nothing much to it
I need to know that I already knew it
And I won't be surprised to find I'm on my own

I've got the loose ends but I'm not tying them
I have to feel that I'm worth what I am
All the chances before I know I have blown

Yes, I know that we're always only one day at a time
I don't know if my heart's gonna break before it blows my mind

Before you go and look into the taxi car rear view
The road in front is straight and long, old comfort's nothing new

So, let's just see if that blood runs hot
We may be cooling but let's give it a shot
Before this whole thing rolls us out the door

I don't need to know where you have been
When you come home and your stumbling in
Just so long as you reach the bed before you hit the floor

Yes, I know that we're always only one day at a time
I don't know if my heart's gonna break before it blows my mind

'Cause I didn't wait up
No, I didn't wait up
I didn't wait up just to watch you fall asleep
