What Are The Lyrics For I Should've Spent the Day with My Family By The Avett Brothers?
I woke up very early
Like I tend to do most days Gathered up my clothes, my watch And pocket knife It would be almost an hour Before the sun would show its face And I tried to be quiet So as not to wake my wife Turning on my phone Was the first mistake I made My heart sunk when I read the first headline There had been another shooting And this time not so far away And a child who lost his life Looked an awful lot like mine I sat there in the dark For I don't know how long Without the first idea of what to do I walked into the kitchen And turned the coffee maker on And stood there feeling hopeless And staring at the moon And when the house got lively I was working double time Scrambling eggs and trying not to cry Jennifer was getting Isaac dressed and packed for school I was wondering when God left And why he didn't say goodbye I should have spent the day with my family Instead I tried and failed to work all day long Lord, I should have spent the day with my family On days like this, they alone, make me want to carry on Throughout the day I kept Hearing all the details Though I didn't check in much Or watch the news Some tragedies you know They have no explanation And the word "Everything" don't cover what you lose So I spent the whole day pacing Back and forth all by my lonesome Questioning the point And trying to write a song And it sure is hard to focus On anything at all And you can't get something right When everything feels wrong I should have spent the day with my family Instead I tried and failed to work all day long I should have spent the day with my family On days like this, they alone, make me want to carry on By sundown I was worn out No closer to understanding The evil things that happen everyday My wife and I shared a beer And talked about the future Agreeing on the fact that we would have to find a way Though sometime I don't know how This world continues turning What has happened will never be undone But tomorrow I think I'll just try to keep the day wide open And as much as they will have me Be with people that I love |
