the high school sweethearts were all grown up
and slowly falling out of love
you and i were sneaking away to the bathroom
to sip on some vodka
and there was a whole lot of charity laughing
it felt like we were on a set
and then the spotlight turned on to you and me

on a bad day in monterey
your heart will still be glad
and you won't worry about the rent
when you're sleeping in a tent

the hour glass will spoil fast
the sun gives up too soon
the night goes on, i'm in your arms
we're bare beneath the moon

on a bad day in mo

we spend all our weekdays apart
except for when we're sleeping
such a horrible design
but we're locked in until we meet the weekend
and we're still sleeping
but it's no walk in the park
and i'm stumbling in the dark

late at night i get so hungry
or maybe i'm jus

We've got a dream and since it started
They all did their best to stamp it out
Now, we're not certain, we're not certain
Who is on our side, who's on our side

Older generations made their decisions
But we don't want to follow their phony love
With all due respect, with

he city wasn't good to me
and if you wanna know why i had to leave
my words will be brief
don't wanna take any of that town with me

the lady wasn't good to me
and if you find out why i had to leave
and if you find out how she was a cheat
you didn't hear it from me

from a young age you sang me to sleep
except you didn't know
in the rain i've waited for hours
to see your show

i would travel in your band
playing the fifth tambourine
i would travel in your van
singing the fifth harmony

tell me where did you get your guitar<

It's been a long winter, never letting up
The two of us should stay inside
The clouds were thick, our heart was shriveled up
We even fought a change in tide

So I know you're freezing
Just breathe aloud the friction

::refrão::
Why stall this? We just need some

we followed her out of the window
right into her shadow

when anna went missing
she left us a sign
hanging her shoes on power lines
constant reminders of who is on the top
flat on your back your looking up
and you're stuck

oh my darling
don't you know there

the sun is growing tired of my burning fear
the moon is empathizing how i toss and turn
they say hush

solomon reminded me it's all but smoke
then elliott confirmed it in the song he wrote
they say hush

still i'm kicking like a little child
i'm swinging at the big

Ooooooooooooooh

She makes me move
Magnetic forces and super glue
I'm not fighting, not fighting her

She gets me through
Words like money when rent is due
Now I'm buying, I'm buying and

Build a house upon a hill
We will have a thrill to sit still
Beach an

please don't cry
stay on the uphill climb
in time we'll find our peace
atop a mountain peak
as it moves beneath our feet

Remember when we left our homes, and moved to San Francisco.
We both had our hair dyed blonde, still listened to the radio.
You were Mr. Funny, and I was laughing loud.
The two of us got caught up in that cloud.

Remember when we left the bay, and drove to L.A.
We stopped an

try again when everybody's laughing
try again, forget about the one's who say you can't
the only way to loose is quit
stop the train of thought that you've been thinking
learn to speak a language you believe in
clap your hands and wake up in a childhood dream

there's st

Oh, I put a penny on a railroad track
Can't take it back
Who'd wanna take it back
But these kids
Keep on wishing for a different town
Or a different time
Anything but here
Anything but now

Chorus:
Tall grass and winding roads
That's where the story gro

here we go like a bird over the edge
we might fall or grow wings and fly instead
there we go and we're blind, blind as a bat
we're trying a little of this and a little of that

and it's christmas without the holy nativity
or a dentist with his mouth full of cavities

tears and joy all in one day

what a day
what a day
what a day

life and love have all come my way

what a day
what a day
what a day
