Beautiful Day
Well I'm falling over backwards and I'm drowning in my sleep
I can't feel the ground, there's only sky beneath my feet
In a television moment I come crashing to the ground
Gasoline explosion but you never heard a sound
Maybe I'm calm, maybe I'm jaded
Or maybe the whole thing has just faded
And maybe I should see another way
Like it's the end of a beautiful day
She bloodied up her wingtips as she's cleaning up the bar
The beauty of an angel but it didn't take her far
She be crying in the corner if she wasn't far too proud
Hear the ringing of this failure and it's getting awfully loud
Maybe she's calm, maybe she's jaded
Or maybe the whole thing has just faded
And maybe she should see another way
Like it's the end of her beautiful day
There's some explaining to do 'cause the fairy tale lied
I think it's sad but cruel but it's here to stay
It's just real life anyway
Maybe we're gone, maybe we've faded
Maybe the whole thing was just jaded
Maybe we should see another way
Like it's the end of a beautiful day
