The One Moment Lyrics
OK Go
Lyrics
You're right
There's nothing more lovely
There's nothing more profound
Than the certainty
Than the certainty that all of this will end
That all of this will end
So open your arms to me
Open your arms to me
This will be the one moment that matters
This will be the one thing we'll remember
This will be the reason to battle
This will be the one moment that matters
So while the mile reclaims our footprints
And while our bones keep looking back
The overgrowth is swallowing the path
And for the grace, I gotta go away
And for the grace, I gotta go away
And for the grace of time and chance
And entropy's cruel hands
So open your arms to me
Open your arms to me
This will be the one moment that matters
This will be the one thing we'll remember
This will be the reason to battle
This will be the one moment that matters
So won't you stay here with me?
So won't you stay here with me?
So open your arms to me
Open your arms to me
This will be the one moment that matters
This will be the one thing we'll remember
This will be the reason to battle
This will be the one moment that matters
