One Day One Flame

Hard rock, tape-saturated 70s production, driving tempo with punk attack and progressive drum-and-bass accents, overdriven electric guitar riffs, acoustic guitar layers, heavy bass and forceful drums, classical-flavored guitar harmonies, long blues-inflected guitar solo, high male tenor with sustained power notes and doubled chorus vocals

[Verse 1] I kept your matchbook in a drawer Next to coins and old receipts Some nights I shake it just to hear That little promise in the seams You said, “Don’t wait for perfect skies” Just strike it when you’re ready I’ve been carrying that word of yours Like a spark in my left hand [Pre-Chorus] And I’ve been cold for way too long Hiding embers in my sleeve But I can feel it moving now Like it knows it’s time to breathe [Chorus] One Day One Flame That’s all it takes One Day One Flame And the dark breaks You and me, we light our name One Day One Flame One Day One Flame [Verse 2] Rain on the window, gray at dawn Boots by the kitchen door I wrote your name on the steamy glass Then watched it fade once more Still every small and stubborn thing Leans toward the coming fire Like my heart knows a way ahead Even when I’m tired [Pre-Chorus] And I’ve been cold for way too long Hiding embers in my sleeve But I can feel it moving now Like it knows it’s time to breathe [Chorus] One Day One Flame That’s all it takes One Day One Flame And the dark breaks You and me, we light our name One Day One Flame One Day One Flame [Bridge] If I fall, you pull me back If you fade, I learn the glow From one small hope in a trembling hand To a fire that’ll never go [Final Chorus] One Day One Flame That’s all it takes One Day One Flame And the dark breaks You and me, we light our name One Day One Flame One Day One Flame (One Day One Flame)
