lyrics

One night, two lights
Three pairs of shoes by the door
I'm so tired of lies
No face to save anymore

I've got a mess of wrinkles deepening every day
I'd call 'em laugh lines, but I can't remember
The last time you smiled my way

One left, two rights
Three steps that lead straight ahead
Well, I can't take strides without your voice echoing
I've got a mess of your words rolling around in my head
A soft refrain I've been ignoring
Sadness no other song seems to mend

CHORUS
It's a long road we've been traveling down
But lately, ever step just seems to burn ground
We set the world on fire, but flames flicker out
And I need you to be happy more than I need you now
It won't be easy, but I'm going to let you leave
Like one, two, three

One night, two stars
Three wishes whispered at dusk
I prayed so hard
For just an ounce of the luck

We'd need to keep moving forward without suffering
But prayers are answered in unexpected ways, so I'll have to believe
That this is what we need

CHORUS
It's a long road we've been traveling down
But lately, ever step just seems to burn ground
We set the world on fire, but flames flicker out
And I need you to be happy more than I need you now
It won't be easy, but I'm going to let you leave
Like one, two, three

And I hope the sun shines wherever you're going
And I hope that you reap every fortune you've sown
And if you should look back, I hope that you'll do it with pride
Remember when you were the very best thing in my life

We set the world on fire, but flames flicker out
And I want us to be something more than I burned down

It's a long road we've been traveling down
But lately, ever step just seems to burn ground
We set the world on fire, but flames flicker out
And I need you to be happy more than I need you now
It won't be easy, but I'm going to let you leave
Yeah, I'm going to let you breathe

And it's a long road yet, but I'll navigate
And every step with burn like a phoenix in flame
I'll set the world on fire; you'll see the blaze
'Cause I need to be something more than ashes someday
It won't be easy, but I'll make it, I believe
Like one, two, three
