This Is The Best Day Ever

(album: I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love - 2002)

And we can run from the backdrop of these gears and scalpels
At every hour goes the tick-tock bang of monitors
As they stared us down when we met in the emergency room
And in our beds, I could hear you breathe with help from cold machines
Every hour, on the hour, they drew blood
Well, I felt I couldn't take another day inside this place
From silent dreams we never wake and in this promise that we'll make
Starless eyes for heaven's sake, but I hear you anyway

Well, I thought I heard you say, "I like you, we can get out
We don't have to stay, stay inside this place"

Someday, this day, we kept falling down
Someday, this day, set the Ferris wheel ablaze
You left my heart an open wound
And I love you for
This day, someday, we kept falling down
One day, this day, all we had to keep us safe
And if we never sleep again
It would never end

Well, I thought I heard you say to me, "We'll go so far, far as we can
And I just can't stay, one day we'll run away!"
