Sittin' on a star Not far from gone How much longer can this go on? I say to myself take it day by day Came on too strong; nothing took form Like a house of cards in a wind storm I say to myself take it day by day Day by day; I go crazy looking forward Day by day; I get carried away But today is where I can stay I could take it day by day Really hurts my feelings when you don't respond Maybe your silence says more than I want Say you're insecure; that's your excuse Wear it like a badge; fits more like a noose So say to yourself take it day by day Day by day; you go crazy looking for it Day by day; you go running from it But today is where you can stay You could take it day by day Sometimes the heart does all the talking Shut up, listen for a while But when the brain does all that squawking Traveling the longest mile If it was true; if that was real It'll never matter 'til we heal And say to ourselves take it day by day Day by day; land those rockets of desire 'Cuz today is where I must stay I could take it if I take it Day by day
