[Verse 1]

The record usually scratches

But today I got to have it in full

Why do these knee-jerk reactions

Keep on happening to me at all?

Tuck my hands into my t-shirt sleeves

Window open, colder breeze

You've been circling my memory

Like a halo, a starling's memory


[Chorus]

I spend my sadder days

Putting on a better face

And I waste my better days

Worried there's a chance of rain

And even if that rain don't come

I'm betting on it showing up

What does it even matter

If every day is only getting sadder?


[Verse 2]

Tuck my knees into my sweater now

Cup my hands and hold my ankles down

There's nothing here to dance around

Like I'm able for them to go out


[Chorus]

So I spend my sadder days

Putting on a better face

And I waste my better days

Worried there's a chance of rain

And even if that rain don't come

I'm betting on it showing up

What does it even matter

If every day is only getting sadder?


[Bridge]

Than the one I had before?

There's nobody keeping score


[Chorus]

I spend my sadder days

Putting on a better face

And I waste my better days

Worried there's a chance of rain

And even if that rain don't come

I'm betting on it showing up

What does it even matter?

Every day is just another sadder day
