[Verse 1]
Did you ever have one of these days?
This is a day like any other day
You are free to wake up and shave
Soapy hands fumbling on porcelain
Hot, good coffee and a good, good book
Bicycle, bicycle

[Chorus]
Breathing easier now
Tear the roof off your day
No one's coming over
It ain't written
So don't try to read it

[Verse 2]
Smell the hot rain on the street
Could be love, could be alcohol
Cup my hands around your face
A little frame, a lot of pain
I can tell the tears from the rain
One tastes sweet, the other plain

[Chorus]
Breathing easier now
Tear the roof off your day
No one's coming over
It ain't written
So don't try to read it
[Bridge]
And who am I to think I could hang
Such a precious life on a clever line?
You're in all the books I read
A hundred pages out of reach
And so I pull myself
Crawl to feet, hit the street
It'll take some time
To learn the lesson of the fall
And begin another climb

[Chorus]
Breathing easier now
Tear the roof off your day
No one's coming over
It ain't written
So don't try to read it
