Empire Records movie - This Is the Day lyrics

Song by The The<br /><br>

Well... you didn't wake up this morning<br>

Because you didn't go to bed<br>

You were watching the whites of your eyes<br>

Turn red<br>

The calendar, on your wall, is ticking the days off<br>

The calendar on your wall is ticking<br>

the days off<br>

You've been reading some old letters<br>

You smile and think how much you've changed<br>

All the money in the world<br>

Couldn't bring back those days.<br>

You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes,<br>

You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky.<br>

THIS IS THE DAY -- Your life will surely change.<br>

THIS IS THE DAY -- Your life will surely change.<br>

You could've done anything -- if you'd wanted<br>

And all your friends and family think that you're lucky.<br>

But the side of you they'll never see<br>

Is when you're left alone with the memories<br>

That hold your life together like<br>

Glue<br>

<br>
