today was a great day   i said but i meant   today was the worst day i’ve ever spent   i’m trying to be what you want me to be   so you’ll settle down   stop driving me into the ground      well it might be how you fight me till i’m shattered   i would leave you but to leave you wouldn’t matter   so beneath you, underneath you i am right here   miles away      today was a strange day   i meant what i said   today was the first day that i looked ahead   and if i could be what you want me to be   would you let me down   stop driving me into the ground      well it might be how you fight me till i’m shattered   i would leave you but to leave you wouldn’t matter   so beneath you, underneath you, i am right here    miles away      can i have your attention, have your respect   we all need redemption, some more or less      now you fight me satellite me till i’m shattered   i would leave you but to leave you wouldn’t matter   so beneath you, underneath you i am right here   miles away   or it may be how you play me till i’m shattered   i defend it and pretend it doesn’t matter   if you need me then believe me i’ll be right here   miles away
