the avett brothers - i should've spent the day with my family كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
i woke up very early like i tend to do most days
gathered up my clothes, my watch, and pocket knife
it would be almost an hour before the sun would show it’s face
and i tried to be quiet so as not to wake my wife
turning on my phone was the first mistake i made
my heart sunk when i read the first headline
there had been another shooting and this time not so far away
and a child who lost his life looked awful lot like mine

[verse 2]
i sat there in the dark for i don’t know how long
without the first idea of what to do
i walked into the kitchen and turned the coffee maker on
and stood there feeling hopeless and staring at the moon
and when the house got lively, i was working double time
scrambling eggs and trying not to cry
jennifer was getting isaac dressed and packed for school
i was wondering when god left and why he didn’t say goodbye

[chorus]
i should’ve spent the day with my family
instead i tried and failed to work all day long
lord, i should have spend the day with my family
on days like this, they alone make me want to carry on

[verse 3]
throughout the day i kept hearing all the details
though i didn’t check in much but watch the news
some tragedies you know, they have no explanation
and the word “everything” don’t cover what you lose
so i spend the whole day pacing back and forth all by my lonesome
questioning the point in trying to write a song
and it sure is hard to focus on anything on all
and you can’t get something right when everything feels wrong

[chorus]
i should’ve spent the day with the family
instead i tried and failed to work all day long
i should’ve spend the day with family
on days like this they alone make me want to carry on

[verse 4]
by sundown i was worn out, no closer to understanding
the evil things that happen everyday
my wife and i shared a beer and talked about the future
agreeing on the fact that we would have to find a way
though sometimes i don’t know how this world continues turning
what has happened will never be undone
but tomorrow i think i’ll just try to keep the day wide open
and as much as they will have me, be with people that i love

- the avett brothers
