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
