From the recording Sleeping with Ghost, Vol. 1
Closing out Sleeping with Ghosts: Volume I, “One Day” is a pensive country reflection on grief, memory, and the slow passage of time. Co-written with Max Flinn, Ryland Fisher delivers a masterclass in lyrical precision — balancing heartbreak and hope with poetic grace. With acoustic guitar leading the way and a subtly swelling arrangement, this track is intimate and cinematic, leaving listeners with a lasting chill by its final note.
Lyrics
Haven’t had a drink since 2am
But today is only halfway in
And I can already hear that neon calling
There ain't enough time in Saturday night
For me to move past you by closing time
No point In staying home watching that clock go by
So I’m stepping back out to black you out of my mind
One of these days I’ll make it one day sober
One day at a time starting over
I won’t need to fill all of my nights
Pouring your memory over ice
And one day I’ll be one day over you
Praying that it’s someday soon
I won’t be sleeping in till noon
And this empty room don’t haunt me anymore
I guess falling for you was my bad luck
Cus these hangovers won’t let up
I can't help myself
So baby, here's to you
One of these days I’ll make it one day sober
One day at a time starting over
I won’t need to fill all of my nights
Pouring your memory over ice
And one day I’ll be one day over you
Yeah
Mmmm, oh baby
Honey, I swear one of these days I’ll make it one day sober
One day at a time starting over
I won’t need to fill all of my nights
Pouring your memory over ice
And one day I’ll be one day over you
Oh honey, one day I’ll be one day over you
