One Day Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tate McRae]
She stares at her ceiling once again with a hundred thoughts
"Maybe he knows who I am, probably not"
She walks down the hall with her head down low
Scared to meet his eyes
Even when she hears his voice
She's swarmed with butterflies

[Chorus: Tate McRae]
It's impossible to get you off my mind
I think about a hundred thoughts and you are ninety-nine
I've understood that you will never be mine
And that's fine, I'm just breaking inside

[Verse 2: Tate McRae]
He always walks the crowded halls and is blinded by this light
A girl who keeps her head down low and never shows her eyes
He's tried to talk to her, but there's no easy way
'Cause every time he raises his voice, she runs away

[Chorus: Tate McRae]
Oh, it's impossible to get you off my mind
I think about a hundred thoughts and you are ninety-nine
I've understood that you will never be mine
And that's fine, I'm just breaking inside

[Bridge: Tate McRae]
One day, maybe she'll stay
And start to head over his way
And one day, she'll look into his eyes
And instead of breaking, she'll call him mine
One day, he'll grab her by the waist
And force them to meet face to face
One day, he'll look into her eyes
And say that, "You're my only light"

[Chorus: Tate McRae]
It's impossible to get you off my mind
I think about a hundred thoughts and you are ninety-nine
I understand that you will never be mine
And that's fine, I'm just breaking inside


One Day Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the protagonist is depicted as someone who frequently finds themselves lost in their thoughts, possibly daydreaming about a person they are infatuated with. They wonder if the person they admire is aware of their existence but doubts that it is the case. As they walk down the hall, they keep their head down, avoiding eye contact, and feeling nervous when they hear the person's voice, causing a rush of butterflies in their stomach.

[Chorus]
The chorus emphasizes the intense impact the person has on the protagonist's mind. They find it impossible to stop thinking about them, occupying the majority of their thoughts (ninety-nine out of a hundred). The protagonist acknowledges that the person will never be theirs, and although they have come to terms with this fact, it still causes them great emotional pain, leaving them feeling broken inside.

[Verse 2]
This verse shifts the perspective to the person the protagonist admires. They are described as someone who walks through crowded halls, seemingly popular or well-known, but they are unable to see the protagonist because they always keep their head down and hide their eyes. The person has tried to engage the protagonist in conversation, but the protagonist consistently runs away whenever the person tries to approach them.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the protagonist's struggle to get the person off their mind, the dominance of thoughts consumed by them, and the understanding that the person will never reciprocate their feelings. Despite accepting this reality, the protagonist continues to feel emotional pain and brokenness.

[Bridge]
The bridge introduces a glimmer of hope in the story. It suggests that one day the protagonist might change their behavior and choose to stay instead of running away. They may begin to approach the person they admire, making the effort to meet face to face. The bridge conveys a potential turning point where the protagonist's fear and avoidance may give way to a brave and direct approach.

[Chorus]
The final chorus repeats the sentiments of the previous chorus, emphasizing the continuing struggle of the protagonist to forget about the person they long for. It restates their realization that the person will never be theirs, but now with the added acknowledgment that they have accepted this fact.

Overall, "One Day" explores the theme of unrequited love and the inner turmoil experienced by the protagonist. It portrays their longing, fear, and hope, while also acknowledging the painful reality that the person they desire will never be theirs.
