Carbon Leaf On Any Given Day Lyrics

On Any Given Day Lyrics

I woke, I broke free drove a long time 

It didn't purge you from my mind 

Hang up the halo, maybe you're right 

Chalk it up to a starry night 

To be set free, to live and learn 

Did we pass or fail the term? 

You wrote a note with chalk on my door 

A message I'd known long before: 

On any given day, you'll find me gone 

On any given day, you'll find me gone 



Give me your reason, give me your rhyme 

So I can tempo me to your time 



So I can scratch your surface and be 

A deeper part of the mystery 

To be undone, to be alone 

To live life in monotone 

I reach the beach and try to ignore 

The warning I'd known long before 

On any given day, you'll find me gone 

On any given day, you'll find me gone 



Chorus 

---------- 

I've been down to the sea 

I've been down to the sea 

And so all of the lovers will say 

Forever star-crossed will we stay 

Still I can't help feeling castaway 

on any given day 

Still I can't help feeling you'll run away 

on any given day 



I window shop for you in my mind 

A flannel shirt at the five and dime 

A lether coat cut big city style 

Boots from plastic crocodile 

A pinecone dipped in glitter glue 

A penny 1942 

A necklace with a cheap green stone 

Barefeet, cold sand. Chill to the bone 



Chorus 



My eye on you. My eye on you. 

My eye on you always 



Chorus 



I lift my hands up, smell to reveal 

Your perfume on the steering wheel 

You're next to me asleep and I smile 

I think I'll drive on for awhile
