La Di Da

(album: Further Joy - 2022)

Silent day
Slipping through a sweet escape
You might even ask me twice
I wish I had something to say

A lovely day
A promise that it's gonna fade
Even through a peaceful night
I hold on to my pillow tight

It's sweet but something in between
Is cracking at the seam
I just wanna believe
That I know how to breathe
It should be all I need
To live inside this time
The one I claim as mine

I hold my ears down
Drown it all out
Singing La-Da-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da
I close my eyes now
Screaming out loud
My little La-Da-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da
So throw your hands up
Dust off your shoulders
Singing La-Da-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da
And take this moment
Grab it, hold it
Singing La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da

A foggy day
Takes me to a broken place
Drag a needle down my spine
I wish I had a no to say

A harmless way
Of turning me into my slave
Singing me a lullaby
We might not get another try

It's sweet but something in between
Is cracking at the seam
I just wanna believe
That I know how to breathe
It should be all I need
To live inside this time
The one I claim as mine

I hold my ears down
Drown it all out
Singing La-Da-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da
I close my eyes now
Screaming out loud
My little La-Da-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da
So throw your hands up
Dust off your shoulders
Singing La-Da-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da
And take this moment
Grab it, hold it
Singing La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da

I hold my ears down
Drown it all out
Singing La-Da-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da
I close my eyes now

I hold my ears down
Drown it all out
Singing La-Da-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da
I close my eyes now
Screaming out loud
My little La-Da-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da
So throw your hands up
Dust off your shoulders
Singing La-Da-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da
And take this moment
Grab it, hold it
Singing La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da
