Little By Day

LITTLE BY DAY

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2017

ALONE IN MY ROOM

STARING OUT THE WINDOW AT THE MOON

NOTHING REALLY COULD PREPARE YOU

SO THAT LIFE DOESN'T SCARE YOU

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG

AND GO WRONG THEY WILL

YOU'LL HAVE TO BE STRONG

YOUTH IS FLEETING

YOU CAN'T FEEL IT

SPEEDING AWAY FROM YOU

BUT YOU CAN'T STOP IT

THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO

BUT BE YOURSELF 

DAY TO DAY

YOU WILL COME TO SEE

YOUR LIFE COULD BE ANYTHING

BEAUTIFUL LIKE A SUMMER MORNING BURNING

LIKE THE WHOLE WORLD IS TURNING JUST FOR YOU 

KEEP ON DREAMING

DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU

LOOK TO THE LIGHT

OVER THERE, JUST TO THE RIGHT

YOUR VISION LAUGHING IN THE SUN

LOOKING FOR LOVE

SECRET PLACES ONLY YOU WOULD KNOW

IN YOUR MISGUIDED YOUTH

MISSPENT TIME

INTO THE FUTURE

WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT 

THE THINGS YOU WANT TO SEE

JUST ANOTHER PART OF ME

YOU REMEMBER

WHEN YOU SAID GOODBYE 

TO YOUR YOUTHFUL YEARS

LITTLE BY DAY, THEY SLIPPED AWAY 

WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU CAN'T HIDE

ALL THOSE YEARS STILL GOT INSIDE

SO INTENSE,  AND THIS JOURNEY

DIDN'T ALWAYS MAKE SENSE

LIKE A ROLLER COASTER RIDE

WITH NOBODY BY MY SIDE

SEE IF I CAN FLY

SEE IF I WAS MEANT TO DIE YOUNG

ALONE IN MY ROOM

WAITING FOR THE FEELING TO SUBSIDE

LIVING ON THE OUTSIDE, DYING ON THE INSIDE

MY FATHER WAS GONE, TAKEN AWAY

YOUTH WAS STOLEN QUICKLY, HAD NO CHOICE

I RAN TO START AGAIN

THE ROAD WEST EMBRACED ME

GO OFF AT THE OTHER END

I FACED MYSELF AGAIN

PUT MYSELF TO EVERY TEST

I DID MY BEST
