He says, I'm not down from the envy that churns in my soul
I'm not down from the waves of deceit
I'm not down from the fear of losing control
I'm not down from the pain of defeat
I don't give a damn about this cold-hearted heart
That cowers like a dog who's been beat
I don't care about times when I was falling apart
In a doorway on a downtown street
She says, lay down your head and close your eyes and let it all drift away
I heard what you said and it ain't no surprise
It's just a bad day
He says, I'm not down from knowing I'll soon be returning
Into the raging heart of the storm
I'm not down from missing. The home fires burning
I don't need to feel safe and warm
I'm not scared of searching for some kind of line
I'm not waiting for something to form
I don't care about times when the clouds were all mine
It's been that way since I was born
She says, lay down your head and close your eyes and let it all drift away
I heard what you said and it ain't no surprise
It's just a bad day
