Carbon Leaf - On Any Given Day lyrics

I woke up, 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

Chorus

----------

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 leather coat cut big city style

Boots from plastic crocodile

A pine cone dipped in glitter glue

A penny 1942

A necklace with a cheap green stone

Barefeet, cold sand, chilled to the bone

Chorus

My eye on you. My eye on you.

My eye on you always

Chorus

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
