Day In Day Out


This is one for the lonely hearts. It’s a story about a man so fearful of rejection that he is too scared to “make a move” on the woman of his desire. Choosing a life of loneliness rather than risking a possible failure. It is a tragedy, and a true story (for many people). – Stevie J

Lyric Video


DAY IN DAY OUT

Stevie J Mayer

It’s happening again she wants to come in
But you just send her away
You wanna be sure but she’s out the door
Before you can think what to say
You roll your dice and turn to ice again once more
But what is it you’re waiting for?

Day in day out, you do without
Get out get out of your head
Tryin’ to hide the cripple inside you
Livin’ your life on a thread
It must be painful, hmm?
It must be time, is it time?

Now you’re over there and she’s somewhere
Wonderin’ thinkin’ of you
And you say, life isn’t fair, nobody cares
But you watered your seeds and they grew
Behind that cool façade your playin’ cards are stacked
But nobody’s holding you back

Day in day out, you do without
Get out get out of your head
Tryin’ to hide the cripple inside you
Livin’ your life on a thread
It must be painful, hmm?
It must be time, is it time?

Well you can hide it from the world
But you can’t hide it from you
And with every lyin’ word your pain will multiply
Yeah it will multiply

[ INSTRUMENTAL ]

Congratulations boy you’ve done it yet again
Haven’t you learnt anything?

Day in day out, you do without
Get out get out of your head
Tryin’ to hide the cripple inside you
Livin’ your life on a thread
It must be painful, hmm?
It must be time, is it time?

Mmm, to break your rules
Shake off the boy
Become a man
And make your move
