Lyrics
There she sits, somewhere between the animal and the ghost. And I know her the most, 'cause I know her day-to-day.
There she goes, a little too far in the ether for us, almost like she's made of dust. But I know her day-to-day.
I know her day-to-day-to-day-to-day.
The closer together, the farther apart. The pounding of one two-sided heart. "Leave all the guessing to me. I can retrofit her smile to mean anything, oh anything, I want it to mean."
There she was, such a part of my life, many days, as it were, I simply failed to notice her, 'cause I knew her day to-day.
I knew her day-to-day-to-day-to-day.
The closer together, the farther apart. The pounding of one two-sided heart. "Leave all the guessing to me. I can retrofit her smile to mean anything, oh anything, I want it to mean."
There she went, my one-sided tale, and that's all that there is. With a boom and then a fizz. And I knew her day-to-day. I knew her day-to-day.
I knew her...
Day-to-day.
