The Next Day

about

I didn't quite like how this song sounded on ukulele, but when I got making the electronic version I was vibing out hard. A girl I dated for a couple months really liked this song.

lyrics

Hide my bad decisions in the next song
Love and war and chaos they all go wrong
A fool will take eternity to speak

Hide my inclinations under my tongue
There's more than meets the eye but you won't get some
A vibrant bird with trash behind its beak

I swear I'm a good man but I get no chances to prove it
So I dig myself deeper 'cause bad ones are much more convenient
And I fuck up and fuck up and fuck up
Hide it away 'til the next day
And the next day and the next day

Leave it to the construct of a daydream
The kids are not alright although it might seem
Anchored they may be but anchored to issues is all

Leave it to the conduct of the mainstream
A little claustrophobic with the unclean
Another way to take the pain away

I swear I'm a good man but I get no chances to prove it
I try to be better but static is much more convenient
And I fuck up and fuck up and fuck up
Hide it away 'til the next day
And next day and next day

For a little while I felt like I was on fire
Loved by the ones that hurt the most
For a little while I felt broken up and tired
Now it's time to go, time to go

I swear I'm a good man but I had my chances to prove it
If love had a body then I'd be the first to abuse it
And I'd fuck it and fuck it and fuck it
Hide it away 'til the next day
And the next day and the next day

Hide it away 'til the next day
