or maybe it's just that my bed has grown
never noticed it before
but you were there so how was I to know
that this single bed was always meant for two
not just anyone
it was meant for me and you
[Chorus:]
And now you're halfway around the world
and I'm just a day behind
nothing seems to fill the hole
that I've had since you left my side
you'll always be my little girl
though I can't hold you tonight
now you're halfway around the world
and I'm just a day behind
I wake up in the night
and turn around to find that you're not there
I just want to watch you sleep,
lay by you,
I love to feel you near
I think I'm going crazy
every day confusion starts to grow
never noticed it before
but you were there so how was I to know
that this single bed
was always meant for two
not just anyone
it was meant for me and you
[Chorus]
Just a day behind
[Chorus]
Just a day behind [x3]
