You Don't Get My Day
ZN Rock
He don't come and go like weather, he don't travel, he don't roam
He moved in behind my eye and he's been calling it his home
There's no season, there's no schedule, there's no knowing when he's through
'Cause there's never been a morning that I woke without him too
No days off, old friend
No last call, no bed
You don't leave, you just move around my head
I don't get to count the good weeks, there's no calendar to keep
He's the first thing in the morning and the last thing before sleep
I have built a whole damn life around a man who doesn't quit
And I've learned to do the living while I'm sitting under it
No days off, old friend
No last call, no bed
You don't leave, you just move around my head
There's a version of this where I give him all I've got
Let him run the whole damn schedule, let him have the lot
But he don't get to steer it and he don't get the wheel
He can have the pain, he don't get how I feel
So live here, old friend
Take the room, take the chair
You can have me every hour
And I'll still be standing there
You don't get the say
You just get to stay
Live here, old friend
But you don't get my day
And the worst thing I could do
Is give you more than you can take
Hand you every decent hour
Just by lying here awake
Just by lying here awake
So live here, old friend
Take the room, take the chair
You can have me every hour
And I'll still be standing there
You don't get the say
You just get to stay
Live here, old friend
But you don't get my day
No, you don't get my day
You don't get my day (live here, old friend)
You don't get my day (live here, old friend)
You don't get my day
