Barely Out Of Tuesday lyrics

I woke up Wednesday morning

Staring at the ceiling

Hoping for deliverance

From the distances in you.

This room feels like an oven

Somewhere south of nowhere

And north of nothing

And I’m barely out of Tuesday

I’ve seen seven hours of Wednesday

I guess I’ve got regrets

Maybe you could leave a light on, leave a light on, for me.

Can you see her,

Waiting there down by the sea?

With a hat on,

Over her eyes and looking for me

If you see me coming home,

Turn me away.

Everybody tries to go back somewhere someday.

She kept me at a distance.

And fifty-two weeks later,

We’re still the same.

I’m standing in my basement,

Making my arrangements

And waiting for the telephone

To ring to ring to ring.

So I left from Minnesota

Where the weather’s getting colder,

And people are changing.

Maybe you could leave a light on, leave a light on, for me.

Oh, can you see her waiting there down by the sea?

And have arrangements and made them for welcoming me

If you see me coming home,

Turn me away.

Everybody tries to go back somewhere someday.

And if all this distance

Ain’t gonna bring you to me

Then what’s the point of all this patience?

It’s not your nature

You just keep what you need.

And you got some pictures of me.

I woke up Wednesday morning,

Sometime Wednesday evening,

Hoping for a piece of something easy to believe.

When you live out on the border

Of everything and nothing

There’s nothing but waking and dreaming.

I’m barely out of Tuesday.

There’s no one to receive me,

And nothing is changing.

Maybe you could leave a light on, leave a light on, for me.

Can you see her

Waiting there down by the sea?

There’s a light on,

But there’s nobody waiting for me.

If you see me coming home

Turn me away,

Everybody tries to go back somewhere someday,

Everybody tries to go back somewhere someday,

Everybody tries to go back somewhere someday,

Everybody tries to go back somewhere…
