Lyrics
Only a Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You had time to heal
I had time to rust
Have it your way
Don't talk to me
Don't talk to me, yeah
Do what you must
Don't talk to me
Don't talk to me
Only a day, only a day lay faded
Only a day, only a day lay only
Two feet short of the mark
I guess picking up the phone was just too hard
Only a day, just one day
Is a day too late
Is a day too late
Yeah, yeah
You stitched up your cuts, uh
Well, I'm still airing out my wounds
Have it your way
Don't talk to me
Don't talk to me, yeah
I guess it's too soon
To talk to me
Don't talk to me
Only a day, only a day lay faded
Only a day, only a day lay only
Two feet short of the mark
I guess picking up the phone was just too hard
Only a day, just one day
Is a day too late
Is a day too late
Only a day, only a day lay faded
Only a day, only a day lay only
Two feet short of the mark
I guess loving a guy like me was just too hard
Only a day, maybe one day
