Long Day
Matchbox 20

Words and Music by Rob Thomas


It's sitting by the overcoat
The second shelf, the note she wrote
That I can't bring myself to throw away
And also reach she said for no one else but you
Cuz you won't turn away
When someone else is gone

I'm sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
But no one else would take this shit from me
And I'm so terrified of no one else but me
I'm here all the time
I won't go away

It's me, yeah, I can't get myself to go away
Hey, it's me and I can't get myself to go away
Oh God I shouldn't feel this way
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
It's been a long day, always, ain't that right
And no, Lord, your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembing
It's been a long day, always, ain't that right

Well I'm suprised that you'd believe
In anything that comes from me
I didn't hear from you or from someone else
And your'e so set in life, man, a pisser they're waiting
Too damn bad you get so far so fast
So what, so long

Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
It's been a long day, always, ain't that right
And no, Lord, your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembing
It's been a long day, always, ain't that right

It's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away
It's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away
Oh God, I shouldn't feel this way
