One Good Hour
ZN Rock
It comes at the same time every night, right on the clock
Drives a spike behind my eye and there's no way to make it stop
You could set a watch by it, you could bet your life it's true
There's nothing in this world as faithful as the pain I'm going through
So I burn a whole weekend just to buy a week of calm
Trade tomorrow for a night where I don't feel it in my bones
It always comes back, it just comes back later
I'm not winning anything, I'm just a slower traitor
I'd trade it all for one good hour
One clean hour where nothing hurts
Take the house, take every dollar
Take the everything it's worth
'Cause I've been counting down forever
And I never learned to count
Give me one, just give me one good hour
That's all I'm asking for now
There's a woman down the hallway and she still leaves the light on low
Two dogs up at the window for a man they think they know
I've got everything a man could want spread out across the floor
And I'm sitting in the middle of it wanting something more
Forty hours awake and I'm still talking to the screen
Hearing something in their voices that was never really there
Then the morning comes and shows me that they never said a thing
And I was fighting with a man who wasn't anywhere
I'd trade it all for one good hour
One clean hour where nothing hurts
Take the house, take every dollar
Take the everything it's worth
'Cause I've been counting down forever
And I never learned to count
Give me one, just give me one good hour
That's all I'm asking for now
I can buy a hundred rooms and every one of them is quiet
I can buy a bigger life, I still can't buy the way I feel
Nobody's talking about me
Nobody ever was
It was me the whole time
It was only ever me
I don't need to trade it all
I just need to spend one right
Not on the noise, not on the night
Just one good hour in the light
'Cause I've been counting down forever
And I'm learning how to count
One good hour, then another
That's all it's ever been about
One good hour
One good hour
Then another
One good hour
