Lyrics
Friday
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.
I crashed, i burned
But then i learned to keep my eye on you
You always say you'll lead the way
But then you never do
I slow, i swerve, but lost my nerve
And quickly looked away
When i looked back, the day was black
Then i heard you say
Why is the sun high, and why does it rain?
Why is there danger and why is there pain?
Why cant the burden be carried away?
And why isn't it friday today?
Your lack of trust is hardly just
So do as you've been told
Please follow me into the sea
Don't worry if it's cold
I knew right then my chance again
Had quickly slipped away
I crash, i cry, i burn, but i...
Still follow anyway
Why is the sea cold, why is it blue?
Why do i stay here, why is it you?
Notice the danger don't help in anyway
Why isn't it friday today?
I knew right then my chance again
Would quickly slip away
I crash, i cry, i burn, but i...
Still follow anyway
