about

This was one of the original preview songs released early during the Leash recording/mixing sessions. It is still free, but we have replaced the audio with the full mastered version.

It is also now part of the Leash on Life Super Cheap $1 EP. Treat yourself, get the whole EP, you deserve it.

lyrics

Beautiful Bad Day

Her eyes were cold as snow on Saturday
When we arrived she said, "The rooms are a mess."
asked if we’d come back at ten

Half past ten I rang the bell again, but she had locked and gone
So we pitched our tent on the truck bed
I told my dog I think it’s done.

The city lights below they welcomed us
to the summer of the end
And when I think of it
I'm too tired to stare off the pain

In the warm of night, we sang softly
On a beautiful bad day
And for one last time, she has awoke me
On a beautiful bad day
I traveled far to find new answers
On a beautiful bad day
And we were barely there and when it hit me in a beautiful way

Her life was structured now but everyday
when she awoke she thought she had made a big mistake
When she asked that they would leave

They left some time ago, out on their own,
she couldn’t make it play
And he doesn't fit so nicely here
She couldn't let him stay

The city lights above, reminded her
of the summer of regret
And when she broke it down
She wanted to tell him she was wrong again

In the cold of night she cried softly
On a beautiful bad day
And she wondered when her heart had broken
On a beautiful bad day
So before he left, she went to kiss him
On a beautiful bad day
They were barely gone when it hit her in a beautiful way
