One by One
All lyrics written by Stephanie Gummelt.
The profile of your face
when you're looking down
at something you are focused on
I study all your eyelashes
how carefully they've been placed
one by one by one
one by one by one
and oh the pain of your nights
oh, you didn't trust the sun to rise
and the stars had faded
oh they faded
one by one by one
but one by one by one
they showed back up,
they showed back up
and I know you don't trust me when
I say "you're beautiful,"
nothing of it is shallow,
please look at you,
I know how good you are
you have chiseled all your features
by carving out the truth
and you light your own eyes
with all the God given blues
and all of these shadows around me,
you have placed
and you have lit
one by one by one
one by one by one
and between all of your spaces
and all your dwelling places
can I just stay there?
can I just stay there?
day by day by day
day by day by day
