Sometime it's pain, sometime it's hollow Never the same, it'll change you tomorrow The sadness doesn't matter when it's gone Girl in a red dress, passes you by Hurried deception gleans to her eye Like the weather will not hurt her when she's wrong You say you feel all broke and discarded What's on your mind, baby? You know you'll get on well Once you've started over again This day is alive This day is alive This day is alive Take another chance, if a turn for disaster Is the best thing for you Oh, the difference is the lies I've told are true Do tell your father the thoughts You've been thinking, they'll burn him too long After all it's the dream that holds up the sun Yeah, you wanna have something that's real Well, give it some time, baby You're all wrapped up in the words You're repeating over again This day is alive This day is alive This day is alive So now you tell me what you're gonna do to me You got a lot on your mind, baby You go so much that'll get through to me Without telling me lies You say you wanna stand up for something Alright, what's on your mind, baby? Oh, you could stand here for nothing Or start it again, start it again This day is alive This moment passed you by This day is ours, don't let it die Don't let it die, don't let it die
