Carbon Leaf, "Any Given Day"

[shadesong]

Woke up, broke free, drove a long time
Couldn'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 turn?
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 temper me to your time
So I can scratch your surface and be
A deeper part of your mystery
To be undone, to be alone
To live life in monotone
I reach the beach and try to ignore
The warning I'd heard long before
On any given day you'll find me gone
On any given day you'll find me gone

I window shop for you in my mind
A flannel shirt at the five and dime
A leather coat cut big city style
Boots of 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
