The Big Day
An old woman walks around decorating her house
Today is her big day
She's bought coffee bread and cake
Adorned with little candles
And a liquor of the best kind
And she lays down a sheet, the best she has
Then her phone rings
She picks up the phone excitedly, and hears the voice of a man
Her youngest son
Well, you say, you can't come
You were mistaken about the day
No, it doesn't matter, if you need anything, just call
'Cause you know I'm here every day
She brings out the finest service, with small flowers
A glass has surely broken
But she figures it doesn't matter
We're so few at this yearly gathering
And as the coffee warms, the phone rings
She forgets everything and runs
In an instant her illusion is broken
When she hears her eldest son
Well, you say, you can't come
You were mistaken about the day
No, it doesn't matter, if you need anything, just call
'Cause you know I'm here every day
Several hours pass, day becomes evening
A tired old woman falls asleep
She has stood there all day waiting for her children
By the flowery curtain
Her coffee bread sits, the cake left as is
So when her daughter calls, nothing is left to imagination
Then the candles burn out
Well, you say, you can't come
You were mistaken about the day
No, it doesn't matter, if you need anything, just call
'Cause you know I'm here every day
I'm here every day (Ahhh)
(Ohhh)
(Ohhh)

I saw your message, babe
There was nothing wrong with it
But part of what you write still hurt
I know you miss having someone to hold
And it’s all my fault, or was it?
I saw your message, babe.
It didn’t make sense
But I understood the intention
And I’m just wondering, does she know about me or what?
Have you thought about the consequences?
Give me time
I’ll be there soon
Give me time
So if you just come lay down here
I could wrong but I believe
That if you just lay down here
Maybe it’ll help?
If you just lay down here
I could be wrong, but I believe
That if you just lay down here
Maybe it’ll help?
It took time to build up
But it didn’t take long to take it apart
I can see that you’re not here in front of me
I’m eating breakfast, eating dinner
With only silence to keep me company
‘Cause I saw your message babe
And you know this is going to fast for me
To turn something small into something big
That’s the problem
And I’m starting over even though I know better
Give us time
It’ll come soon
Give us time
So if you just come lay down here
I could wrong but I believe
That if you just lay down here
Maybe it’ll help?
If you just lay down here
I could be wrong, but I believe
That if you just lay down here
Maybe it’ll help?
If you just lay down here
You just need to lay down here with me
Just stay with me awhile longer
So if you just come lay down here
I could wrong but I believe
That if you just lay down here
Maybe it’ll help?
If you just lay down here
I could be wrong, but I believe
That if you just lay down here
Maybe it’ll help?

The hour is here
You want to live as you learn
You're wondering how you ended up here
The smile is mostly you playing around
Hiding the shame, hiding the betrayal (the hour is here)
You, who drink to forget (the hour is here)
Stop it with your hide-and-seek
You, who said it would never happen again
You're going to see that it passes
The skies will clear up², my friend
There is someone who needs you
Look up and you'll see me
The air is blabbering mistakenly about romance¹
Poor you who has been his
Someone says there'll be others
Buy you don't want to live anymore (the hour is here)
You, sitting there with the knife (the hour is here)
Put it away and leave it
You, who said it would never happen again
You're going to see that it passes
And the skies will clear up, my friend
And there is someone who needs you
And you, who said it would never happen again
You're going to see that it passes
And the skies will clear up my friend
There is someone who needs you
