Day Away

Frank Ocean · The Lonny Breaux Collection

[Verse 1]

It's 12:07 and I'm thinking 'bout him (thinking 'bout him)

8 minutes ago it was all okay, yeah

I wish the year was just missing one day

I'm wishing I could forget it

Cause it's still so hard to live with it



I'm humming to the song playing in my head when I first met you

And I'm looking through the pictures in the shoebox under my bed

And I swear, every conversation that I have

Someone brings up your name, just this one day I don't know

Maybe if I board a plane, I could beat the sunrise

Ready to grab a hammer and start breaking the clocks (those damn clocks)

No, I don't wanna think about him

I don't wanna dream about him

I don't wanna talk about him

I don't wanna call him

This day doesn't even exist

I keep praying that it won't exist no more



[Hook]

Click-clicking my heels wishing away the day

Wish it could have been Tuesday, just not today

Could have been Wednesday, just not today, day

I'm clicking my heels wishin' away the day

Wishin' the day go away, day go away, today go away



[Verse 2]

It's 6:47 still thinking 'bout him (thinking 'bout him)

Walking down 42nd tryna clear my brain (no, oh)

He packed his luggage and he left, but some of it still remains

So for 24 hours I've been sitting here staring at his baggage in my space



I'm humming to the song playing in my head when I first met you

And I'm looking through the pictures in the shoebox under my bed

And I swear, every conversation that I have

Someone brings up your name, just this one day I don't know

Maybe if I board a plane, I could beat the sunrise

Ready to grab a hammer and start breaking the clocks (those damn clocks)

No, I don't wanna think about him

I don't wanna dream about him

I don't wanna talk about him

I don't wanna call him

This day doesn't even exist

I keep praying that it won't exist no more



[Hook]

Click-clicking my heels wishing away the day

Wish it could have been Tuesday, just not today

Could have been Wednesday, just not today, day

I'm clicking my heels wishin' away the day

Wishin' the day go away, day go away, today go away



[Bridge]

See I don't even wanna think about him

Or dream about him

Even just one day is one too long

There ain't no sense in bringing it up or bringing memory round

Cause ain't no getting back the love that's gone

I won't be crying no more and how it unfolds

The storm has passed and gone

And I wish amnesia would stay

I don't wanna remember, not even for just one day



[Hook]

Click-clicking my heels wishing away the day

Wish it could have been Tuesday, just not today

Could have been Wednesday, just not today, day

I'm clicking my heels wishin' away the day

Wishin' the day go away, day go away, today go away
