lyrics

Just a calendar day (ba ba ba ba)
It's funny how things can stay the same
or drastically change.
Some things seem so close on some days, but still so far away.
Don't know the right things to do (ba ba ba ba)
In fact I don't have a clue... sometimes I feel like a tool.
And I want to be truthfully true to you
and do all the things that you do.
But when I hate everything about the mean things that I say -
It feels like I mess up so much and I can only say,
"i hate everything about my ways,"
But you tell me I'm OK.
And one day, one day I know you'll say:

"B, I'm so glad you made it."
"Oh well Jesus, thank you so much for saying that."
Because the truth you know is that I have just been
hating so many things I do.
But now I realize forever that you're my friend.
No matter what, you will never leave me to fend.
I don't know much, but I know we will be
happy as a 1950's TV family...
Except times infinity...

Two calendar days (ba ba ba ba)
And still my life is the same,
and other people's have changed.
I wonder what if I'm too late
All the time that I said I would just wait?
And yeah does anyone care
about us here or anywhere?
Well I just want to try and dare
to be there, to care 'cause I know - I know that's rare.
'Cus when I hate everything about the mean things that I say -
It feels like I mess up so much and I can only say,
"i hate everything about my ways,"
but you tell me I'm OK.
And one day, one day I know you'll say:

"B, I'm so glad you made it."
"Oh well, Jesus, thank you so much for saying that."
'Cus the truth you know is that I have just been
hating so many things I do.
But now I realize forever that you're my friend.
No matter what, you will never leave me to fend.
I don't know much, but I know we will be
happy as a 1950's TV family.

A family that I will be in.
A family - it's just not pretend.
A family that I will be in, a family.

I don't know much, but I know we will be
happy as a 1950's TV family...
Except times infinity...
Just a calendar day.
