[Lyric] Day After Day (Ted Leo and The Pharmacists)

It happened in the morning, and again she's breathing clay
She took it to the river, but she couldn't float away
A loner in the car again, it was enough to drive her mad
How could she not get hung up on the things she never had?
And day after day
No one really knows you, and no one knows what to say
Day after day
You don't get any better, and it doesn't go away
Waking up with no one who could take and try to live
With the dirty mangled state of the gifts he wants to give
He hammers imperfection in a vain attеmpt to bend
Every possible connеction to its catastrophic end
And day after day
No one really knows you, and no one knows what to say
Day after day
You don't get any better, and it doesn't go away
The world, it steals and reels around you - hold on
Can't heal the weal within without you
Undone by projection
And the withering sun of dependency
Quiet in the afternoon, they can hear the pumping course
Groaning for expression and so rudely forced
Or maybe just reflections of need to understand
If there's any reason that isn't made by human hands
And day after day
No one really knows you, and no one knows what to say
Day after day
You don't get any better, and it doesn't go away
You don't get any better, and it doesn't go away
