Descendents - One More Day Lyrics






Spent the last years
In denial of my grief
Because you hated me
Anyone could see
I'll always wonder
What I meant to you
And why you hated me
What I did to you

I can't get anywhere
Pretending that I don't care
Lying to everyone I see
When the only thing I needed was

One more day like yesterday
I'd pick you up, you'd put me down
Wish you were still around
For one more day like yesterday
With you

And in the end
We didn't have a thing to say
Still those games to play
Then you passed away
I'll always wonder
Why you had to leave
Why you hated me
Then laid the blame on me

Cold antiseptic stares
The smell of the sickroom air
Yeah, I let you go down there
The only child
Who never cared about

One more day like yesterday
I'd pick you up, You'd put me down
Wish you were still around
For one more day like yesterday
With you

I'll always wonder
If I could have meant more to you
I'll always wonder
If I could have done more for you
How could I just turn my back
How could I just walk away
How could I just close my eyes
And watch you die

We never got along
We never got a chance
To sing our song of love

I loved my daddy boy
Did you love your boy?
Oh, you feel so warm to me now
But it's cold in this room
Tomorrow they'll put you
In the ground
Then there's nothing I can
ever do to have

One more day like yesterday
I'd pick you up, you'd put me down
Wish you were still around
For one more day like yesterday
With you

    Love you Mom with all my heart.RIP.08-09-19 💓

  2. T.... S....

    My dad died of cancer about a year ago, on birthday. This song describes so well the relationship we had. Growing up, I was a rebellious, arrogant, and super sarcastic kid. Peobably coulda had a better life if I took shit seriously. But my dad was always pushing me to be a better man. I’m sorry I only started pushing myself after I graduated and everything. Love ya, dad. Just hope what I been doing since last august has made you happy, at least.

    T.... S....

    He's proud

  3. T.... S....

    S.... G....

    +Aleksandra Jankowska no problem mate !

    S.... G....

    AMO-TE <3 <3

  32. s.... D....

    great song so sad ...sorry Bill.

  33. W.... C....

    Wish you were still around... for one more day :(

  34. b.... ....

    I have been a Descendents fan since 1985 when I first heard Silly Girl.  I never new the story behind this song until I watched Filmage.  My heart goes out to Bill.   I can never listen to this again the same way I did before I knew the whole story.

  35. F.... G....

    I dont understand why this video has such a low quantity of views... One of the best songs of this awesome band.

    F.... G....

    Something is automatically bad if it's popular? Just understand that bands like sex pistols, ramones, clash (basically all your entry level punk bands) are very popular. Lou Reed is insanely popular and he is a musical genius and his music pieces of art.

    F.... G....

    Joseph Bayerle what? Hes asking why this doesnt have more views

  36. C.... P....

    I dedicate this song to someone special, she knows who she is.

    C.... P....

    Yeah well, I was feeling a bit depressed.

    C.... P....

    its good dude. 

    C.... P....

    Its actually bill (drummer)'s dad

    C.... P....

    @Karva Sylinteri Listening to a song can mean something else to someone though. It doesn't have to be about what the singer is talkign about.

    C.... P....

    @Brandon chilian I know, but they talked about the story of this song, so i said what it was about, bit since i heard that drummer thing, i started listen this diffrently.

  37. j.... g....

    I love you, Amber Madelyn Kelley with all of my heart

  38. A.... ....

    Bill wrote the song about his father after taking care of him while he was sick and him passing away.

  39. -.... ....

    real american song!

  40. z.... ....

    Descendents rule!

  41. M.... T....

    i think that's chad price chiming in with "like yesterday with you" at the end

  42. c.... ....

    This one is a complete masterpiece !

  43. M.... A....

    this song brings me to tears every time

  44. M.... A....

    best descendents song ever

  45. k.... ....

    sounds like the story of my life bro, same exact story your trying to convey

  46. B.... a....

    this is one of my favorite :D

  47. s.... t....

    So I'm a noob when it comes to the Descendents. So far, this is probably my favorite song by them, but I can never listen to it too much without getting emotional. Still a great song though.

  48. D.... ....

    @Burdman224: I totaly understand you. I'm in this shit right now! For a week now. The worst week in my life. So glad to have Descendents songs to give me hope!

  49. o.... s....

    cant explain how stoked i am to them live

  50. T.... S....

    @VivaArsenal4 I just did this 2 months ago, loved her... Giving her space away and maybe things will come back.. Its the worst pain.

  51. C.... ....

    @greens618 the song is about his old man.

  52. k.... ....

    @ewilsonlds Just curious but why?

  53. R.... C....

    @HipHipForChe no its his mouth

  54. B.... ....

    Fucking Descendents and their tendency for their songs to relate to me more and more.

  55. A.... C....

    the best song

  56. e.... ....

    this song gets me very emotional for some reason

  57. d.... ....

    "One more day with you"

    Awesome some, Awesome lyrics

  58. R.... W....

    I like this song, but only until the 2 minute mark. At that point I have to turn it off.

  59. R.... L....

    obviously this doesnt sound exactly like milo goes to college, but bands mature, and this is still descendents. this isn't a sell out song. it sounds like them

  60. T.... ....

    honestly, the descendents continue to write songs that both the young and old can relate to.

  61. A.... L....

    'Merican or Blast off for me
    And i love this album

  62. k.... ....

    i think cool to be you is their best album....so this is prolly my fav song
