ONE MORE DAY (Wounded Love)

All of your boxes are stacked behind me
All of the windows are open wide
All of your mirrors are wrapped in blankets
All of your faithless tears have long been cried
You’ve got a U-Haul backed up on the sidewalk
Your brothers are packing everything that you own away
You’d like to think we could’ve fixed our wounded love
If we just had one more day…

All of your clothes are piled in the bedroom
Your shoes are in a trunk outside
You see your leaving as a run for freedom, girl
I see it as my last chance to survive
Now you might have a need to blame me, girl
But someday there’s gonna be a price that you’ll be asked to pay
And still you think we could’ve fixed our wounded love
If we just had one more day…
If we just had one more day…

We took a long walk nowhere, baby
And every bridge we tried to cross was burned
And every lesson was a punishment suffered through
And every step we walked was another wrong way turned

But, now this house is still and empty
And its silence screams so loud
And it feels as though time is standing still
Like the sky behind some thundercloud
And the flame that burns the candle down
Has long been darkened as its light slowly burned itself away
And still you think we could’ve fixed our wounded love…
You’d like to think we could’ve fixed our wounded love…
You’d like to think we could’ve fixed our wounded love…

If we just had one more day…
(to fix our wounded love)
If we just had one more day…
(to fix our wounded love)
If we just had one more day…
(to fix our wounded love)
If we just had one more day…
(to fix our wounded love)

If we just had one more day…
