Wakin On A Pretty Day
Kurt Vile Lyrics

Wakin in the dawn of day
Starting the day early in the morning

I gotta think about what I wanna say
Planning on what to say

Phone ringin off the shelf
Receiving a call

I guess he wanted to kill himself
Assuming that the caller is suicidal

Wakin on a pretty day
Starting the day on a nice day

Don't know why I ever go away
Wondering why he ever leaves home

It's hard to explain
Unable to put it into words

My love in this daze
Feeling love in this dreamy state

You can say I've been most all around
Travelled to many places

But honey I ain't goin' nowhere
Not planning on going anywhere else

Don't worry 'bout a thing
No need to fret

It's only dying
Death is inevitable

I live along a straight line
Living a simple life

Nothin' always comes to mind
Not always thinking anything specific

To be frank, I'm fried
To be honest, feeling exhausted

But I don't mind
But it's okay

Been diggin'
Doing some soul-searching

Layin' low, low, low
Keeping a low profile

Dig, dig in
Digging deeper

To these lives that we are livin'
To the life that we have

Livin' low
Living simply

Lackadaisically so
In a relaxed, lazy manner

Risin' at the crack of dawn
Waking up very early

I gotta think about what wisecrack
Planning a witty remark

I'm gonna drop along the way today
That he'll say later on

Phone ringin' off the shelf
Receiving another call

I guess somebody got somethin' they
Assuming someone has something to say

Really wanna prove to us today
Desperately trying to prove something

For any place
Anywhere

No use sayin' nothin'
No point in saying anything

To explain it
To try to make it understood

To my loved ones today
To his loved ones
