Ruin My Day Lyrics
Thought you should call me but then after all we were lovers
I don't wait by the phone like I used to
I don't hope for kind words you might say
You don't prey on my mind like you used to
But you can still ruin my day
You can still ruin my day
Oh as if you forget that it's me you regret you rejected
I don't easily forgive like I used to
And I seldom get carried away
No you don't have the pull that you used to
But you can still ruin my day
Oh you can still ruin my day
It hardly hurt a bit
Now I don't lose my place like I used to
I'm not moved by your artful display
No you can't draw me in like you used to
But you can still ruin my day
You can still ruin my day
You can still ruin my day
I said you can still ruin my day
Why hasn't commented on this? What an amazing song! Jon Brion is brilliant.
and the line is: I'm not moved by your artful display
this song seems kinda morbid. well this IS coming from the girl who has decided her own death so i guess i cant talk about morbid. i havnt heard the song yet. i guess ill have to hear b4 i judge it...
i don't think this song is "morbid"... just straightforward. that point after a breakup when you're getting over it, they call, and you fall apart.
line 2 is actually "it's odd you should call me but then after all we were lovers."
Miki's got it right, & man o man, do I ever feel this tune in my stomach.
Heart-wrenching and beautifully honest...and o what a voice.
Definitely a song about a past love who comes out of nowhere one day, years after having last spoken, when he's moved on, and she tears his world back down a little bit, because it throws him back into thoughts of things he thought he'd buried for good. A feeling of confusion that ruins his day, wondering why the hell she decided to contact him after all this time. Wondering what the point is, etc. It's like she doesn't -want- him to move on.
