Late out the door

, grab my clothes off the floor,

backpack and books

cause school is a chore,

Coming straight down the block,

punk rock ain't no shock,

blue hair everywhere

cause we've got the stock

Slide by all the narcs,

as the late alarm barks,

take a nap in the class

on a film about sharks.

Try to make my way through

but is all I can do ,

cause I keep coming back and

all I think about is

you



CHORUS

Didn't want to go, didn't want to stay, didn't want to lie by

my side I don't really care cause I'll still be there swallowing

my pride, someday I'm going to be there, someday

I'm going to be there



Step out in the hall,

with the girls dressed like dolls,

and the burn-outs are baked

cause they step out the stalls

see the games that they play

cause they practice all day

and the more than I see

is the less I have to say

Its a quarter by ten,

by your locker again,

cause I know you'll be coming round the corner with your friend

Try to make my way through,

but is all I can do,

cause I keep coming back and

all I think about is

you



CHORUS



Listen when I say today is the day, today is the day

and I'm on my way.



Listen when I say today is the day today is the day

and I'm on my way,

(Listen when I say today is the day today is the day

and I'm on my way)

I see you when you're wandering by,

and you still catch my eye,

blow my mind,

cause my face you won't recognize



Yeah I know that's crazy

how you seem to phase me,

when nothing else matters but

that all escapes me.

This is a new trip,

got to get a better grip,

a day in the life

and you know I'm gonna take it.

And then you turn and walk away

before I have a chanceto say

I know that you can make this

all okay.

Try to make my way through

but is all I can do

cause I keep coming back and

all I think about is you.



CHORUS



Listen when I say today is the day, today is the day

and I'm on my way,

Listen when I say today is the day today is the day

and I'm on my way,

(Listen when I say today is the day today is the day

and I'm on my way)

I see you when you're wandering by,

and you still catch my eye

blow my mind,

cause my face won't recognize
