It's all in a day's work
It's all in a night' slumber
It's all in my head as you used to say
But if it's all in my mind than why are these hopes so well fed, but at the end of the day I am still hungry for you
I put the paint on the wall
I put the books on the shelf
I placed my shoes in a line still I can't make it look right
I closed my eyes and saw beady eyes and claws but I couldn't find your hand anywhere in the dark
I'm crossing a bridge with rickety wood
Too far to turn back, too far from the other side
What can I do
I don't want to jump
It's just so hard to think with the water taunting below
I made a curtsey before the dance
You swept my hands up in your hands
The music drowned out the rest
You are gone
And you can love anyone you choose but I still remember everything
Just don't look in my eyes or it may all come back to you
I don't understand this battle you lead
Strategic moves against your enemy
It wasn't a war but a river so warm
Only using its force to push us out to the sea
It's all in a day's work
It's all in a night's slumber but at the end of the day I am still hungry for you
