The Day After Tomorrow Band – If Only For A Day lyrics

Frost melts off the tracks to reveal a fresh layer of rust
So let's follow them past the horizon
Until we reach a shady knoll where we can sit for an hour or two
And you'll tell me about your nightmares
And I'll tell you that I don't dream
You'll find yourself wishing that I'd open up to you
At first you'll think I'm shy But I can't tell a lie to you -
This summertime love affair was born to be ephemeral.
And you feel slightly scarred by the words that they speak:
Cute stories from your childhood you've erased from your memory
Now I've found a place for us to be
It's on the border between sarcasm and irony.
Maybe we can step aside from our cruel and cold and loveless lives, If only for a day.
She picked me up in her father's car
She asked me to go for a drive with her
I said "let's drive to the border"
I said "let's drive south of the border
Then let's head south, to the border of that border
To a border town in Texas or New Mexico
And why stop there when we're doing so well? -
Let's head south past one border more."
