about

~ “For A Day” is an introspective and cautionary tale about the rocky roads of romantic and platonic relationships. Maybe it was my fault. Maybe it was yours. Maybe speaking about the past plurally is far healthier than individualizing regrets and sins. But, maybe that isn’t true? I’ve learned a lot over the years that the moment you feel love for anything, anyone, or yourself — losing that feeling is catastrophic. You HAVE to cherish the moments you have with those you love and remember them fondly ‘til your dying day. You stop being human when you don’t tell your story. You stop being a part of history when you don’t tell the stories of others. I don’t want to see the people I’ve loved from miles away or sitting right next to me fade completely out of existence. We all are the building blocks to each other's memories — and I want us to remember the past and predict our futures without edits or questions. I like dancing to the same songs I cry to. I guess sometimes — to be honest — the truth is the sweetest antidote; even if you only have 24 hours to taste it.

lyrics

[Intro]
No woman can give me satisfaction
Not even the girl of my dreams is close
She keep disappearing like the last one
All of the time—

[Verse 1]
Listen, I don’t need the hate
I’ll elucidate adjudications even if they’re fake
Don’t need a degree—I could smell a lie
From a farm away, even if you armed with Febreze
I’ve been in your sheets, I know where you lay
I done cooked you eggs
How could you believe I ever meant to cause you disarray?
Matter fact, nevermind—go and diss away
I can’t judge you, that’s the style of someone over us
But you overall wishing you were over me
So dungaree, telegraphing everything for a notary
To paint me as the villain you claim you could never trust
Meanwhile, you just needed time to readjust
To everything but love, I thought we were one
I was always here—why’d you never look?
Damn, girl, please—Avie baby you overreacting
All of the time (all of the time)

[Pre-Chorus]
No woman can give me satisfaction
Not even the girl of my dreams is close
She keep disappearing like the last one
All of the time, all of the time
Like whoa, that’s why I keep checking for the real ones
But maybe it’s just me that’s been a factor
I stay up missing every day I had them
All of the time—

[Chorus]
But it’s alright
Yeah, it’s okay
You were all mine
Just for a day
Yeah, it’s alright
Yeah, it’s okay
You were all mine
Just for a day

[Post-Chorus]
Don’t know who you are
But darling, you’re a star
Maybe you could fly
Pardon, you should shine safely

[Verse 2]
Hey Mrs. Wade (Hey Mrs. Wade!)
Hey Mrs. Wade (Hey Mrs. Wade...)
I heard you finally got everything
I know your newborn’s finally on the way now
Ain’t a thing changed
‘Cept my balance
I be at the studio crying in the palace
While my bank account is looking like the edge of a mallet
Screaming "Oh God"
That’s me—the “O” Guy (Get it?)
If I pop up on your phone
Better treat me like an ad
And call me up before I’m over
You Costello to my Abbott baby—oh Lord
Ugh—I hate these depressive streaks
That pass me by and make me wish you fell for me
But then I think—

[Pre-Chorus]
No woman can give me satisfaction
Not even the girl of my dreams is close
She keep disappearing like the last one
All of the time, all of the time
Like whoa, that’s why I keep checking for the real ones
But maybe it’s just me that’s been a factor
I stay up missing every day I had them
All of the time—
[Chorus]
Cause it’s alright
Yeah, it’s okay
You were all mine
Just for a day
Yeah, it’s alright
Yeah, it’s okay
You were all mine
Just for a day

[Post-Chorus]
Don’t know who you are
But darling, you’re a star
Maybe you could fly
Pardon, you should shine safely
