Lyrics
I wake up and the day feels broken
I tilt my head, I’m trying to get an angle
’Cause the evening I’ve always longed for
It could still happen
How do I muster the perfect day
If you leave it alone it might just happen
Anyway
It’s not up to you
Oh it never really was
It’s not up to you
Oh it never really was
It’s not up to you
Well it never really was
It’s not up to you
If you wake up and the day feels a-broken
Just lean into the crack
And it will tremble ever so nicely
Notice how it sparkles down there
And I can decide what I give
But it’s not up to me what I get given
Unthinkable surprises about to happen
But what they are
It’s not up to you
Well it never really was
It’s not up to you
Oh it never really was
It’s not up to you
Oh it never really was
It’s not up to you
Well it never really was, it never was
It’s not up to you
