A Day Late, A Dollar Short

Late at night as I lay down to sleep

I think of all the secrets people keep

Like how I feel for you

Do you feel it too

Or is it something we have to resume

We're just two people watching time fly by

In a world in its obvious decline

But we are young and strong

We can carry on

Find a little paradise of our own

'Cause no one saves the day

It's no one else's fault

If you're a day late or a dollar short

Just think about how lovely life could be

Excluding all the man-made misery

If we're too far behind

And really out of time

Is there another world they plan to find?

Too many dreams of youth

That we never caught

Just a day late or a dollar short

We're all just lonely people

Only dyin' to fall in love

Feelings that we thought

Dreams we never caught

Just a day late or a dollar short

The loneliness, the blues

Feeling so distraught

When you're a day late or a dollar short

Too many dreams of youth

That we never caught

Just a day late or a dollar short

And no one saves the day

It's no one else's fault

When you're a day late or a dollar short
