One Love

Cheryl Wheeler

Everywhere I turn
Everyone is lost in this thing
'Cause something feels gone
Life is nothing like we dreamed it might be
And we don't move forward
Can't move back
We hold our hands out
Hoping for that
One love that's all of it
Deep nights and quiet days
Long lovers, old comforts
Feel like some ball and chain
I guess we're really gettin' old
Always worrying we're wasting our time
Wantin' somethin' new to hold
Some affair would be the perfect crime
Long roads crumble
Forevers fall apart
One day we don't know
Why we're so far from
One love that's all of it
Deep nights and quiet days
Long lovers, old comforts
Feel like some ball and chain
And if I want you and you want me
We'll call it love though it might not be
Hearts on fire, souls in line
Oh, just to know that, just to feel that one more time
Seems impossible to know
What is real and what is just some restless thing
And our hearts learn slow
All the miseries bad choices bring
So is it wise or lazy
Holding tight to what you've known
And is it brave or crazy searching for some
One love that's all of it
Deep nights and quiet days
Long lovers, old comforts
Feel like some ball and chain
One love that's all of it
Deep nights and quiet days
Long lovers, old comforts
Feel like some ball and chain
