lyrics

It's My Day
(Shawn Harris, Miles Hurwitz, the Matches)

I just showed up here
I can't be to blame
I can only be to blame
if I stay the same
if I stay the same

and all the girls say
it's my day
it's my day

Whose day?

My brain cannot contain itself
it's yelling through my spine
I'm overjoyed
heretofore I was insecure
being so high
so height I would avoid
oh boy, oh boy

But it's my day
it's my first day
on the earth
stay like today
like my birthday
like my sure thing
it's my day
and all the girls say
it's my day
it's my day

I went to church with my gramma
Ma'am, I do not believe, but I rejoice!
an' maybe my void and your lord are the same
so save a seat for your boy

'cause it's my day
it's my first day
on the earth
stay like today
like my birthday
like my sure thing
it's my day
and all the angels say
it's my day
it's my day

Smarter man than I
said sha nananannana
happier woman said
hallelujah
I just showed up here
I can't be to blame
I can only be to blame
if I stay the same
if I stay the same

it's my day
it's my day
