Transcribed by Scott Seymour

I saw you from across the street, /
called to your friends. /
I haven't seen your smile all week - /
I know something's wrong. /

I went and bought another book; /
I'll lend it to you. /
Maybe we could get some food, /
I don't think you should be alone. /

This is the morning of another day, /
and you kiss another dream away, /
ready or not. /

You never say the things you should. /
You didn't, and you never could, /
like it or not. /

They said you're off to fight the cause /
in your own time. /
You're always trying to change the rules. /
I know something's wrong. /

I got myself another job /
in the same town. /
Me and Scott, we got engaged... /
I don't want to be alone. /

This is the morning of another day, /
and you kiss another dream away, /
ready or not. /

You never say the things you should./
You didn't, and you never could, /
like it or not. /

I never meant to hide a thing. /
It's too late for me to start promising /
or crying again. /

This is the morning of another day, /
and you kiss another dream away, /
ready or not/

You never say the things you should. /
You didn't, and you never could, /
like it or not. /

I never meant to hide a thing. /
It's too late for me to start promising /
or crying again. /

This is the morning of another day, /
and you kiss another dream away, /
ready or not/

Other opinions

the album starts with a full-on ballad - orchestra, strings, horns, the lot! it's about being in love with someone who doesn't return your feelings. avoid if depressed! example lyrics: "This is the morning of another day And you kiss another dream away Ready or not You never say the things you should You didn't and you never could Like it or not"
