Just Another Day
Tom & Barbara Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we hold on tight for the tidal wave
When it gets to lost in the irony
Of the kind of plans we made
When were holding pack underneath the slack
And the silence deafening
But you've got my back as we smile and laugh
At the hope that's threatening
I can't let go
Cause all they know
She's not coming home
And in this tornado
If my luck runs out
Then she's just another runaway
And I cry for light
And hope for night
As I wish my life away
Better keep you near
Try to shake the fear
Prevent catastrophe
When I say those three words
There is always an apostrophe
Defends my faith in that there's always something more to see
I might know
I can't let go
Cause all they know
She's not going home
And in this tornado
If my luck runs out
Then she's just another runaway
Cause all I know
Is she's not going home
And if my love wears out
In my heart she knows that
She's just another runaway
She's just another runaway
She's just another runaway
Try to count the days
Try to count the hours till you're next to me
As a wage the war from my bedroom floor
And I lose all kind of sleep
Fall underwater
Bridge the border
But it's hard to breathe
Something stirring
Fire burning
Deep inside of me
And all I know
She's not going home
Cause all they know
She's not coming home
And in this tornado
If my luck runs out
Then she's just another runaway
Cause all I know
Is she's not going home
And if my love wears out
In my heart she knows that
She's just another runaway
She's just another runaway
She's just another runaway

When she takes the weight from me
When she helps me carry the burdens in my life
And we hold on tight for the tidal wave
And we stay strong together when challenges come crashing in
When it gets to lost in the irony
When we find ourselves trapped in the paradoxical twists of life
Of the kind of plans we made
Of the dreams and aspirations we had
When were holding pack underneath the slack
When we endure difficulties and setbacks
And the silence deafening
And the silence around us feels overwhelming
But you've got my back as we smile and laugh
But you support me and bring joy to our relationship
At the hope that's threatening
At the optimism that challenges the odds
I might know
I might understand
I can't let go
I cannot give up
Cause all they know
Because everyone else knows
She's not coming home
She won't return
And in this tornado
And amidst the chaos of life
If my luck runs out
If my fortune fades
Then she's just another runaway
Then she becomes another person who escapes from my life
And I cry for light
And I long for guidance
And hope for night
And anticipate the solace that darkness brings
As I wish my life away
As I yearn for a different existence
Better keep you near
I better keep you close to me
Try to shake the fear
Attempt to overcome the fear
Prevent catastrophe
Avoid a disastrous outcome
When I say those three words
When I express my love
There is always an apostrophe
There is always a possessive form attached
Defends my faith in that there's always something more to see
Strengthens my belief that there are endless possibilities
Try to count the days
Attempt to calculate the passing days
Try to count the hours till you're next to me
Attempt to calculate the hours until we are reunited
As a wage the war from my bedroom floor
As I fight my battles within the confines of my room
And I lose all kind of sleep
And I become sleep deprived
Fall underwater
Submerge in uncertainty
Bridge the border
Overcome the barriers
But it's hard to breathe
But it's difficult to find respite
Something stirring
Something awakening
Fire burning
Passion igniting
Deep inside of me
Deep within my soul
And all I know
And everything I am aware of
She's not going home
She won't return
And if my love wears out
And if my love diminishes
In my heart she knows that
Deep down, she understands that
She's just another runaway
She becomes another person who escapes from my life
Try to count the days
Attempt to calculate the passing days
Try to count the hours till you're next to me
Attempt to calculate the hours until we are reunited
And if my luck runs out
And if my fortune fades
Then she's just another runaway
Then she becomes another person who escapes from my life
Cause all I know
Because all I am aware of
Is she's not going home
She won't return
And if my love wears out
And if my love diminishes
In my heart she knows that
Deep down, she understands that
She's just another runaway
She becomes another person who escapes from my life
She's just another runaway
She becomes another person who escapes from my life
She's just another runaway
She becomes another person who escapes from my life
