Day by Day Lyrics

At the bottom can't go down no more

Reduced to bottom feeder on the ocean floor

Sunken ships remnants of the army corps

Surrounded by lieutenants of the first world war

Water boarded life couldn't shut the door

Crew committing mutiny water flows through the port

Outlook is grim, time running short

It's sink or swim, it's mission abort

(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah)

Day by day I've been taking on more water

(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah)

Day by day I keep on falling farther

(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah)

Day by day I can't hold on any longer

(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah)

Raising white flag, I concede that I lost it

Raising white flag, ya I'm done with this conflict

Nothing left to do but to run like a convict

Hating myself for all the pain that I inflict

Just wish it better, don't wish it perfect

Just put hollandaise on my eggs benedict

Not gonna see wedding halls, ain't no benedict

Alone in my life, like saint benedict

Rehab's familiar, ya I've been an addict

Had a life before, travelled coast to coast

Had a nice house, twice the size of most

Even had a guest house and I was a nice host

Always wanting more I just had to boast

But that's all in the past

Guess it wasn't meant to last

Went by way too fast

Can't say it was a blast

Thought I was on the rise

But I met my demise

Guess it ain't no surprise

But I'm out of allies

I'm out in the ocean

I lost my devotion to a better life

Ain't no motion it's like I'm paralyzed

Wish there was a potion to help me rise

But when I look inside

There ain't nothing but greed in my eyes

A new plan to devise

And I need to revise

And change these habits of mine

(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah)

Day by day I've been taking on more water

(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah)

Day by day I keep on falling farther

(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah)

Day by day I can't hold on any longer

(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah)

Raising white flag, I concede that I lost it
