First Day Back (Demo Version) Lyrics

First Day Back - Braid

So frustrated

That something complicated

 

Could hang over my head

 

On my first day back

 

And already I'm treading on unsteady ground

So strike me down or check me out

 

So elated

That this soul so understated

Could be making eyes at me

 

But first I'll be

 

Another innocent victim looking for some

Sense of sympathy

 

In the middle of a state

 

The sorry story of a star

 

That goes "Here's my heart"

 

It's a start

And if anything, we haven't seen everything

 

In the middle of a stage

 

There's a girl and a guitar

 

But there's your car

 

Have we forgotten who we are?

 

We haven't seen anything

 

So I'm told that chicago's cold

Can't be cool as california

 

For the first time ever

 

I feel severed yet smooth removed

 

If you approve then check it out

 

To what do I owe this attention

 

I'm only half of the reflection

 

And the conversation goes

 

Oh, nevermind (oh, nevermind)

 

To what do I owe this tension

 

If deception's fine

 

Then this is divine

 

Divine define divine

Divine define divine

Divine define divine

 

On my first day back

 

And already I've settled on

 

My weak front

 

My weak front

 

My weak front
