Bright Eyes - I Will Be Grateful For This Day Lyrics

Send "I Will Be Grateful For This Day" ringtone to your cell

I had girl I knew she grew became a woman

Now I think that she teaches at one of the schools downtown

We used to roll the windows down and play the music loud

Smoking out in her car lost in west Omaha

And wed get drunk and kiss our bodies twist like shoe laces

And we never came untied I guess you were just my type

You know that summer never stopped I still pretend Im there

Bands in the living room the neighbors aint never cared

So when I sat behind the drum set

Your heartbeats what I tried to play

With kick and snares so careless not in time

So you got ahead of me

And I guess Im still dragging behind

I had a friend who changed his name but couldnt change himself

Never quite figured out how to do with what life had dealt

He put a needle in his arm to calm his handsome hell

Who would have imagined it? Couldve worked out so well

Now he's a shape that moves like echoes through my empty room

And theres a voice that speaks like someones right behind me

I turned around and found exactly what you would expect

Clothes I left on my floor the papers piled on my desk

But where the ink is where the cause effects whats meant by it

The story is incomplete the pictures left unfinished

So I am writing my own ending

Ill let my pen bleed black or blue

And I will color in the meaning

It will be gold and green and true

And Ill learn to love my new discovered proof

Ill be grateful for this day

I'll be grateful for each day to come
