Worst Day of Your Life

Problem Solving with Pronouns

The day breaks
And he tries to fix it
His heart mends
He bends down and licks it

Then you come to call
Without warning at all
And he falls
Screaming as he’s heading down
A dull thud
And he’s on the ground

Yeah you laid him low
I thought that you should know
We’re going toe to toe
In front of everyone you know
And yeah, I’m talking big
But it’s only for show

He stands up
His left foot it smashes
His brand new
Tortoise shell glasses

He leans down to greet
The broken glass in his feet
And it’s complete
All in all a simple test
He lays down
But he never rests

Yeah you laid him low
I thought that you should know
We’re going toe to toe
In front of everyone you know
And yeah, I’m talking big
But it’s only for show

Now all he’s got are official doctor’s notes
And they say he’s entitled to a fast-action antidote
It’s just an affliction
This indisposition
Problem solving with pronouns
It must be what’s going around
What’s going around

The day breaks and he tries to fix it
His heart mends he bends down and licks it

Yeah you laid him low
I thought that you should know
We’re going toe to toe
In front of everyone you know
And yeah, I’m talking big
But it’s only for show
