lyrics

I’m through with the night
And I’m driving home with the radio
The volume is low but I can’t escape
The frequencies, the ambience
And the white noise in my head
I’m through with the drive
And I lay awake with each mistake
Open to the sheet with the fresh ink
It’s bleeding through the pages
Of the story I write
It’s not finished

I can’t say that I’d do it all the same
If I had the chance to write it all again
There’s no day
I don’t wish I could erase a paragraph
I’d be nice if it were true
That every sentence I write
I could undo
This is the story without the fiction

I’m through with the light
So I switch it down and I turn off
Under the covers and out of consciousness
I close my eyes and say to myself
Tomorrow’s another day
Tomorrow’s another day to ruin

(Chorus)

This is the bridge
This is where I’m supposed to change my ways
I’m sorry to disappoint
But I feel the same
I’m still filling the pages with words
That furnish the book
Entitled “Regret”

(Chorus)

Tomorrow’s another day
Tomorrow’s another day to ruin
