Day One

[Verse 1: All] Been a long while now coming up Thought we were past it, thought we'd patched it up Thought the title had passed hands Thought we'd had enough But the sun's gonna go ahead and tag right up And we don't understand what we're standing on And we sure come in blind With our timing [Pre-Chorus: Dijon & Justin Vernon] So I've culled what I can't tame I have taken all that I can take And it got bad enough I thought that I would leave [Chorus: All, Justin Vernon, Justin Vernon & Flock Of Dimes] Well, I wish you could take that right off All that shit that rips you right up Then you'd know that we'd been taught all this from day one From day one (Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo) (Hmm) [Verse 2: Flock of Dimes] Same old town and you're parsing through Signs of live and die for you There's a million ways you're falling through The cost of your mind And some may say that you lack the stuff And you burn it down and clack your cuffs But you may have to toughen up While unlearning that lie [Interlude: Justin Vernon] I'll go find the tap wire I'll go put the pathfinder on waltz [Chorus: Justin Vernon, All] Well, can I get a rewind? Just this once, if you don't mind I don't know who I am without ya 'Cause I feel a wild one now comin' on I told you to be patient, I swore that I was wrong So why can't we both just now get to understand? From day one [Post-Chorus: Dijon & Justin Vernon] All this was dry land Yes, you have just always had your band But you get sad enough because it's all you seek [Outro: Justin Vernon, Flock of Dimes, Dijon, All] (Oh, hop on, it'll all be gone) You don't have to take so very long And you can't have it for a song And that's why I have rattled on From day one From day one (Yeah-eh, oh yeah, ah-ooh! Eh-yeah)
