One Thing At A Time Lyrics


I don’t know where to start
When every thought at once
Comes flooding til I’m underwater

I don’t even know if I care
Throw my hands up in the air
Said “I don’t know why I even bother”

Oh my god just one thing at a time
Don’t get why it’s so hard to find
Some peace and quiet swimming in my mind
And oh my god I’m ready for a change

Over-analyze my dreams and pick apart the seams
Always working from the same old pattern

Soon as you pull one string
Well that’s when everything
Begins a bigger mess unravelling

Oh my god just one thing at a time
Don’t get why it’s so hard to find
Some peace and quiet swimming in my mind
And oh my god I’m ready for a change
I’m ready for a change

Cry my eyes out, wasting water
On a scenic drive, I’m flying down the middle of the highway
Wrong way. The sun in my eyes
I gotta fix this all somehow now
I’m ready for a change
