Give to Get a Day

I saw you standing there

With a worry on your face

Of the next move I'd make

But that just wasn't the case

You just had to walk away

As I stood there before you

Like the bailor of the courtroom

Not the plaintiff on parade

When I'm asked about that day

I remember the breath you'd take

And the rejection in your eyes

But the projection didn't fade

I don't blame you anymore

For the mess we had made

Like my father once told me

You gotta give to get a day

I think on those words now

As if I were to invade

All of your pretty space

On a floor we didn't lay

And I'll remember your face

As the pretty one by the bay

As we dreamt about our future

And watched it all fade away

As we dreamt about our future

And watched it all fade away

As we dreamt about our future

And watched it all fade away
