Story Behind The Song
I was a part of a band called Sugar Jones which was the first POPSTARS to come to Canada. This is a song I wrote in a hotel room on a national tour. I felt really out of place. THis was one of the difficult times of being in such a group.
Song Description
The song definitely builds. The first verse is really about feeling out of place. the chorus is about going at it one day at a time because that is all you have left. You just put on a face, go to work or wherever it is for you and just go through the motions until you can get out. It's not a good feeling because you thought it would be so much better. The expectations were high, it was supposed to be fun. But things changed along the way and you just feel out of place.

Lyrics
ONE MORE DAY
I didn?t ask for any of this struggle
None of this was supposed to through my soul
In this dark and stormy place
Hope that life will keep me safe
Mama! I?m out of place
And I?m feelin? so low
But I can?t let it show
I?m falling so low
Wanna swim back to shore
Wanna run on back home
Where I?m not so alone
Where there?s room for a place of my own
One more day
I?m gonna put that face
and make it through one more night
As if I?m alright
An erie stillness is dancing through my bones
In constant motion but still I can?t move on
And there?s nothing you can say
To take this pain away
One more day
I?m gonna put that face
and make it through one more night
As if I?m alright
