On Any Given Day - Carbon Leaf

I woke, I broke free drove a long time

It didn’t purge you from my mind

Hang up the halo, maybe you’re right

Chalk it up to a starry night

To be set free, to live and learn

Did we pass or fail the term?

You wrote a note with chalk on my door

A message I’d known long before:

On any given day, you’ll find me gone

On any given day, you’ll find me gone

Give me your reason, give me your rhyme

So I can tempo me to your time

So I can scratch your surface and be

A deeper part of the mystery

To be undone, to be alone

To live life in monotone

I reach the beach and try to ignore

The warning I’d known long before

On any given day, you’ll find me gone

On any given day, you’ll find me gone

I’ve been down to the sea

I’ve been down to the sea

And so all of the lovers will say

Forever star-crossed will we stay

Still I can’t help feeling castaway

On any given day

Still I can’t help feeling you’ll run away

On any given day

I window shop for you in my mind

A flannel shirt at the five and dime

A lether coat cut big city style

Boots from plastic crocodile

A pinecone dipped in glitter glue

A penny 1942

A necklace with a cheap green stone

Barefeet, cold sand.

Chill to the bone

My eye on you.

My eye on you

My eye on you always

I lift my hands up, smell to reveal

Your perfume on the steering wheel

You’re next to me asleep and I smile

I think I’ll drive on for awhile
