Only as the Day Is Long Lyrics

Slipped on my shoes and made myself look somewhat right
Cause I can't be at home tonight
And I have no clue as to what I'm doin here but
Let me lay on your bed for a day
Cause it's a long time still until tomorrow

All my insecurities are breakin me up inside
You light another cigarette and my eyes are on fire

Lightnin strikes me only in waves
And I know I'm safe for now
But I know the rest is on its way

I know it isn't easy
Nothin is the way I want it
All this will pass
Cause it's only as the day is long

This song is unbelievably beautiful both in terms of lyrics and music.

I can't believe only one person has commented.

I love this song.

But i believe the line is "You light another cigarette my eyes are on THE fire"

I actually requested these lyrics from Sera herself, so the line is correct as it is. However, this song truly is amazing, and I'm sad there aren't more of her lyrics/tabs online.

This is everything I am today. One minute I am swelling and want to fly off the edge of a cliff and the next I want to die in the woods alone with the rain pooling in my eyes. And it's a long way still until tomorrow.
