Lyrics The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers

One Line Wonder

I love you but I can't remember why

Stars fallin' from high forgotten sky

I was a one-line wonder in my own love song

I keep a little journal by my bed

Dreams help me find the words I haven't said

Like when a little girlie said goodbye to me

From behind a screen door

I won't see her again I'm sure

Didn't I say I need you

I tried to move on but I can't

I tried to think of bad times

Good memories are all I have

I love you but I can't remember why

I'd love to find a reason to deny

I was a one-hit wonder in my own hometown

And I guess I might have made a few mistakes

But maybe that's exactly what it takes

To get a little happy in this big sad world

How many have you made

And which of those have you laid on down to die

Well didn't I say I need you

I tried to move on but I can't

I tried to think of bad times

Good memories are all I have
