Just when thought the war was on its last bullet

She lit a cigarette, untied her smile and drew a full clip
She’s not the type’a gal you wanna spar with round for round
Because sparrings just for practice, not a W or L

It’s been a long off-and-on-cut-and-paste-straight-no-chase city romance
That stands against all common sense
From holdin’ hands over the fence to walkin’ miles through the fire
To cursin’ each others name through drunk text messages and dials

It’s the same Nascar, we’re just different drivers
Different drivers
And it’s the same busstop, we’re just different arrivals
Different arrivals

Chorus
I stay awake all night and watch the stars and moon
Until they fade away into the afternoon
Ya can’t hold down somethin’ that’s meant to move
You’re waitin’ on me to wait on you
-
At last minute I took my best friend on a date to the promenade
I think she’s cool, she thinks the same
She understands the girl and I don’t get a long all of the time
And that she’s comin’ to the dance with another

Musta got’em outta box ‘cos he’s a tool, or a parade ‘cos he’s a float
A flagshop- somethin’ to wave and gloat
I don’t respond, word is bond, I keep my cool, take my time
Before I could hit the punch bowl, she grabbed me by the arm

She said if you loved me, you’d fight for me
Fight for me
But what she don’t understand, she’s the light of day
And I can’t get the sunshine outta my veins

Chorus

I am more than yesterday-
more than debt to pay-
more than yesterday

Her eyes looked like night but the skied said day
Talkin’ bout she don’t need clouds to make it rain
Psshh- then why you always stormin’ out
Turnin’ up a tornado, got it upside down
Backwards and twisted
Ma, ya can’t talk at the same time and listen
It’s what it is- not what if
So stop blowin’ up the spot while it’s under construction

I know enough to just smile it through
But when you go checkin’ through my cell phone more than I do
I break it off but I still love’er
‘Cos she got the combination to my heart and my locker
Two weeks on, a weekend off to evil
Now we’re back together like the Eagles
-Live
Just close your eyes

She’s the light of day
She’s the light of day
She’s the light of day
She’s the light of day

Chorus
