[Intro - spoken]
I had a number.
I was going to stop there.

[Verse 1]
First it was the rent, then a place of my own,
Then enough put aside I could turn off my phone.
Then a million meant I'd made it, till I met a man with ten;
I shook his hand, went home and moved the finish line again.

Bought my mother her own place. She cried when I brought the key.
She said, "Stay, I'll make us coffee." I said, "Got somewhere to be."
Watched her put the second cup back up there on the shelf.
Said, "Soon as things slow down," like I couldn't stop myself.

[Chorus]
One more zero, one more year,
One more reason I'm not here.
Don't know what I'm running for.
Still I tell myself, "One more."

I said enough would set me free.
It keeps getting ahead of me.
Got a billion to my name.
Why's the promise still the same?

[Verse 2 - building intensity]
Money fixed the leaking roof and kept the winter out,
Took the panic from the bills, gave us less to fight about.
Then I started keeping score with people I don't even like;
If I wasn't winning by the morning, I'd be working through the night.

Now I'm checking who's worth more while my dinner's going cold.
Got a friend who stopped inviting me; I kept putting him on hold.
Saw a photo from his birthday. Same old idiots, same bar.
Zoomed in looking for a space for me. I'd paid to be this far.

Could've caught a flight that evening, could've walked in through the door.
But a deal was nearly finished. There was always one thing more.
No one forced me to be absent. No one told me what to miss.
I just thought that being happy would come somewhere after this.

[Chorus]
One more zero, one more year,
One more reason I'm not here.
Don't know what I'm running for.
Still I tell myself, "One more."

I said enough would set me free.
It keeps getting ahead of me.
Got a billion to my name.
Why's the promise still the same?

[Bridge - stripped back]
I can't buy back those Sundays
Or the dinners that I missed.
She's still asking me for coffee.
I keep sending better gifts.

I could leave this very second.
I could have been there all year.
I keep saying it's for them.
They keep asking why I'm here.

[Final Chorus - full intensity]
One more zero, one more year,
One more reason I'm not here.
Don't know what I'm running for.
Still I tell myself, "One more."

I said enough would set me free.
I kept it just ahead of me.
Got a billion to my name.
Why's the promise still the same?

[Outro - spoken]
I had enough.

I just kept counting.
