Day One Lyrics

Day One lyrics

I drew a curtain across your face

Put the lid on this case

I'll never look at you the same

This is what I tell myself



Every day and every night

I rip that curtain down

But nothing there has changed

It's still day one



I put two feet on the ground

And walk to the end of the line

We take what we can get

By way of killing time



I drew a circle around your face

I should have looked some other place

And never looked at it again

This is what I tell myself



Every day and every night

I try to rub that circle out

But nothing comes away

It's still day one



I put two feet on the ground

And walk to the end of the line

We take what we can get

By way of killing time



What can I tell you?

I'm at a dead end

She is a best friend

Says I'm at a loose end



You know where you stand

When it's hand over hand

But there's no beginning

And there is no end to a circle

It's day one, year zero



And I'm in love with nothing again

I sit here on the platform

And I nurse my drunken brain

And the train pulls in the station

And the train pulls out again



It's day one

It's day one

It's still day one
