This room is dark and dusty

Air’s so thick you could cut it with an axe

Rusty nails on a concrete floor

Sunlight creeping through the cracks in the roller door

When I was younger, I’d fix broken things

I used to breathe the life back into wood

But I sold my tools for money

Now all I’ve got to show is these holes

Oooh ooh oooh one of these days I'll build a road and get out of town

Oooh ooh oooh one of these days I'll say I'm sorry I let you down

I can stay awake for days on end, get so high I feel like I’m superman

I can sleep through all the trouble that I’ve made

Til the guilt hits my heart like a hammer hits a nail

Oooh ooh oooh one of these days I'll build a boat and sail away

Oooh ooh oooh one of these days I'll say I'm sorry I caused you pain

I’ve made promises I couldn’t keep

I’ve stolen and lied through my teeth

I never meant for things to fall apart

I’ll take these pieces

And one of these days I’ll build a castle for you my son

One of these days I’ll build a bridge between our hearts

One of these days, one of these days I will

One of these days, one of these days I will

Oooh ooh oooh one of these days
