Lyrics
EMBRACE THE DAY
Kiss your boy. Kiss your girl.
Kiss the sky though it seems absurd.
Kiss all things in this great big world.
Like they ain?t been kissed before.
Break some laws. Break some rules.
Break some bread with someone new.
Break some record you broke in school
Just to prove that you could do it once more.
Embrace the day.
Drink good scotch or cheap red wine.
Drink your drink like you?re ten days dry.
Drink each second like it?s sunshine
And you?re living your life in the dark.
Make your bed. Make your speech.
Make some love till your knees go weak.
Take some time to find what you seek
Or you will never see yourself in the stars.
Embrace the day.
And it?s true, we don?t need a map to follow
And it?s true, we might not be here tomorrow
And it?s true, we take too much for granted
And it?s true, we don?t ever understand it.
Kiss your boy. Kiss your girl.
Kiss the sky though it seems absurd.
Kiss all things in this great big world.
Kiss all things. Kiss all things.
Drink good scotch. Drink cheap wine.
Drink your drink like you?re ten days dry.
Drink each second like it?s sunshine.
It?s sunshine.
Embrace the day.
