lyrics

[First Verse]

The stars were shining bright
in the Argentinean night
but somehow the constellations
got unaligned
and now I’m standing in line
in tides
rolling with my mind
and masquerading is fine
if you’ve got nothing to hide
come on and show me the sweeter side

[Chorus]

And under a crumbling steeple
relationships ruin good people
and they said
“God gave us love”
but the devil in Cain
killed Abel’s dove
so it’s a different day today

[Second Verse]

Aaron are you a drifter
or do you have a home?
I’m in a bad place
and I’m basically alone
let’s just trade our hats
when it all hits the fan
you can have it all back
living on this beaten track
ain’t really living at all

[Chorus]

And under a crumbling steeple
relationships ruin good people
and they said
“God gave us love”
but the devil in Cain
killed Abel’s dove
so it’s a different day today
and I feel different day to day

[Outro]

yeah, it’s a different day today
and I feel different day to day
