Late out the door
, grab my clothes off the floor,
backpack and books
cause school is a chore,
Coming straight down the block,
punk rock ain't no shock,
blue hair everywhere
cause we've got the stock
Slide by all the narcs,
as the late alarm barks,
take a nap in the class
on a film about sharks.
Try to make my way through
but is all I can do ,
cause I keep coming back and
all I think about is
you
CHORUS
Didn't want to go, didn't want to stay, didn't want to lie by
my side I don't really care cause I'll still be there swallowing
my pride, someday I'm going to be there, someday
I'm going to be there
Step out in the hall,
with the girls dressed like dolls,
and the burn-outs are baked
cause they step out the stalls
see the games that they play
cause they practice all day
and the more than I see
is the less I have to say
Its a quarter by ten,
by your locker again,
cause I know you'll be coming round the corner with your friend
Try to make my way through,
but is all I can do,
cause I keep coming back and
all I think about is
you
CHORUS
Listen when I say today is the day, today is the day
and I'm on my way.
Listen when I say today is the day today is the day
and I'm on my way,
(Listen when I say today is the day today is the day
and I'm on my way)
I see you when you're wandering by,
and you still catch my eye,
blow my mind,
cause my face you won't recognize
Yeah I know that's crazy
how you seem to phase me,
when nothing else matters but
that all escapes me.
This is a new trip,
got to get a better grip,
a day in the life
and you know I'm gonna take it.
And then you turn and walk away
before I have a chanceto say
I know that you can make this
all okay.
Try to make my way through
but is all I can do
cause I keep coming back and
all I think about is you.
CHORUS
Listen when I say today is the day, today is the day
and I'm on my way,
Listen when I say today is the day today is the day
and I'm on my way,
(Listen when I say today is the day today is the day
and I'm on my way)
I see you when you're wandering by,
and you still catch my eye
blow my mind,
cause my face won't recognize
