about

This track is a musing on the fleeting nature of every day. Despite some days being "good" or "bad," each one is temporal and precious! I wrote it as a reminder to myself; hopefully you'll relate too. ~ Sara

lyrics

The sun rises when we’re sleeping
Sinks while we’re watching tv
Night falls and we’re dreaming
Of what’s past or yet to be

We ain’t dead yet, but we sure ain’t free
We ain’t dead yet, but we sure ain’t free

Oh some days are better than others
Don’t matter where you’re going to
Don’t matter where you’ve been
Cuz this day is like no other
And it ain’t never ever coming back again

The telephone is ringing
All you wanna do is hide
Far away you hear a singing
Birds are calling you outside

Open your door now, go on and see
Open your door now, go on, you’re free

Cuz some days are better than others
Don’t matter where you’re going to
Don’t matter where you’ve been
Cuz this day is like no other
And it ain’t never ever coming back again

Oh it ain’t never ever coming back again
Yeah it ain’t never ever coming back again
