Day to Day
The Ting Tings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you wanna be with some one
When you wanna play in the sun
If you wanna share what you find
When you got a lot in you mind
You can see what you wanna see
See what you want to say
When you gotta be somewhere else
If your gonna travel the world
When you wanna send me a line
When you gotta hide all the time
You can do what you wanna do
Yeah

Cause everyday when mean it
Respect it put it out neglect it
Talking threw a face it tear it up
Replace it
Win some lose some find out we use some
Bandels and have fun some of you
and count on
You can be my friend if we haden't been in comin'
Honesty trouble we assume to depend on
You can be my friend if you wasn't such a fight
Yes staying n love taking a dive
You could've been a good friend to my
Day To Day

When you need some one to blame
When you know they'll be there again
In a world rest of for we
I gotta find somebody to do what you wanna be
So you took it out on some one
Not to make can't be undone
If you wanna turn up the light's
Everything care for things right
Feel what you wanna feel

Cause everyday when mean it
Respect it put it out neglect it
Talking threw a face it tear it up
Replace it
Win some lose some find out we use some
Bandels and have fun some of you

Staying in love taking a dive
You could've been a good friend to my
Charles where you and Roland
Here assume to depend on
Honesty trouble we could've been a good friend to my

If you wanna be with someone
When you wanna play in the sun
If you wanna share what you find
When you've got a lot in your mind
You can say what you wanna say
(Say what you wanna say)
When you gotta be somewhere else
If your gonna travel the world
If you wanna send me a line
When you gotta hide all the time
You can do what you wanna do

Everyday when you mean it, respect it
Put it out, neglect it
Talk it through and face it
Tear it up, replace it
Win some, lose some
Find out we use some
Bend the rules and have fun
Someone you can count on
You can be my friend if we had a bit in common
Honesty, trouble free, someone to depend on
You can be my friend if you wasn't such a flyer
Staying in love taking a dive
You could've been a good friend of mine

Day to day, day to day to day
Day to day, day to day to day
Day to day, day to day to day
Day to day, day to day to day

When you need some to blame
When you know they'll be there again
In a world messed up for me
I gotta find some loyalty
And be what you wanna be
So you took it out on someone
Nothing that can't be undone
If you wanna turn up the light
If you think everything's right
(Do what you wanna feel)

Everyday when you mean it, respect it
Put it out, neglect it
Talk it through and face it
Tear it up, replace it
Win some, lose some
Find out we use some
Bend the rules and have fun
Someone you can count on
You can be my friend if we had a bit in common
Child's play, roll in the hay, someone to depend on
You can be my friend if you wasn't such a flyer
Staying in love taking a dive
You could've been a good friend of mine

Day to day, day to day to day
Day to day, day to day to day
Day to day, day to day to day
Day to day, day to day to day

You can call, you can go
If you fall, you will know
How to feel, be for real

Staying in love taking a dive
You could've been a good friend of mine
Child's play, roll in the hay, someone to depend on
Honesty, trouble free
You could've been a good friend of mine

Day to day, day to day to day
Day to day, day to day to day
Day to day, day to day to day
Day to day, day to day to day
Day to day, day to day to day
Day to day, day to day to day
Day to day, day to day to day
