Did The Day Go Just Like You Wanted? - Belle & Sebastian

Did the day go just like you wanted

Or did you hold on with your fingernails

There were white-hot days in your youth

Not anymore

What’s the point if we never learn

What’s the point without the feeling

When the tears roll down on your cheek

You know you’re alive

Let the rain pour down, let the winter come

You won’t find your peace in a perfect home

And the perfect man has a crack

Trust him to never come back

Let the boy be unfettered and bold

Let the boy reach out for the infinite

When he’s lost in confusion and doubt

You know what to do

And you know it’s gonna be rough

But you never run from your gravity

He’s a long-haired puddle of doubt

But he’s yours

Let the rain pour down, let the winter come

You won’t find your peace in a perfect home

And the perfect man has a crack

Trust him to never come back

And the dreams that you try to find

When you close your eyes

When the world is silent

Give yourself to a mystery

Open up to warm possibility

You are blessed, not ragged, not lost

As long as you love
