[Verse 1]
I heard the floor creak, or so I thought
I had my head a-rubbin' on the ceiling
You said that indecision makes one weak
My indecision's suddenly been deepened

[Chorus]
One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside, there's snow
Been snow so long, you know
Just feel like lettin' go
So outta line

[Verse 2]
You've worked so hard for everything you've got
Ten minutes later, you're a loser
Count your blessings and the ones you love
At this point, we beggars can't be choosers

[Chorus][2x]
One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside, there's snow
Been snow so long, you know
Just feel like letting go
So outta line

[Outro]
One day ain't forever
One day ain't forever

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
