The Next Day Lyrics

My face is covered with salt water

My eyes are red, and my throat is sore

When I drive to my bed late at night like no other

I see your face in the clouds and I'm sure of my world

Now that it's said and done

Everything's up to us

If I wanted to call, I would

Time flies when you drag your feet

And spirit keeps me pain free

There's a pile of dust on the wood that still creaks and it reminds me

Of us

So when will you come up to town to play hookie again

We'll see each other

And act like we used to be old friends

So indifferent, we've divided up time and it's train wreck

But now we talk to the people we told each other never to end up with

Now that it's said and done

Everything's up to us

If I wanted to call, I would

Time flies when you're nailed to the cross

Drag me up to the mountain top

And tell me things you know that you shouldn't

When we are old, I don't know if we'll still think this way

But for now, I am proud of retaining a memory, one in the same

And i'm still reminded of you, but only when I hear your name

And only in that instance

Then it's gone

The next day
