[Verse 1]
This story is about to be my new life
You are what I needed to mend this shattered piece inside me
Slowly you're making me feel like a man
Bring me back to earth just to send me back up
I just can't get you off my mind
A tornado ripping right across my brain
Barely able to concentrate
Unexpected things just keep on happening
But I do not hope that they stop

[Chorus]
One day at a time, yet it feels like years
Always want you by my side
Another footstep in our lives
Another milestone to put up on the wall
Never stray too far, in my arms you are safe

[Verse 2]
This heartbeat won't quit throbbing
Just need your touch right now
I miss you already
Another day, I will see that smile
Hold you tight at night
Entwined like vines
Feeling your heartbeat race just as fast as mine
Waking to your bright smile and bedroom eyes
Hearing you say my name never sounded so much better

[Chorus]
One day at a time, yet it feels like years
Always want you by my side
Another footstep in our lives
Another milestone to put up on the wall
Never stray too far, in my arms, you are safe

[Verse 3]
3 hours gone and yet I am so crazy
Wanting you back next to me
Wishing I could kiss those lips
In a flash you were here and in a flash you were gone
I never want to say goodbye
I want to see me in your eye
You mean so much, these feelings are so insane
But I'll see you another day, so I'll stay strong
'Til then and always, you're the apple of my eye
