On Your Worst Day Lyrics
I've been calm inside these white walls for a while now,
Just longing to feel the stretch out of my wingspan.
Can I breathe in the wind for a moment before I lie down-
Rest my eyes in some wild garden?
And somehow, they'll see that we're still dancing when the fake white lights blink on-
When the music fades to static-
And we're still swaying-
When the wolves are circling-
'Cause I need you better than them.
You never kiss me when we're dancing.
You just grab my shoulders trying to wake me up-
I'm always stuck inside a moment.
(Stuck inside a moment.)
Held tight; held tight-
First to your hand I'm a crashing passenger-
Since the last time it felt right.
I think you might be mistaken-
Like you've confused me with someone else.
But it sounds so lovely when you say that.
It's like sometimes I fear you just don't know what you're sayin',
But I know you better than that...
I just wanna make you smile on your worst day.
I just wanna make you cake for your birthday-
For your birthday.
Hey lover-
Come over here.
I just wanna make you smile on your worst day.
On your worst day, ohh.
On your worst day-
On your worst day.
On your worst day-
On your worst day, ohh.
On your worst day-
I just wanna make you smile-
On your worst day.
Just longing to feel the stretch out of my wingspan.
Can I breathe in the wind for a moment before I lie down-
Rest my eyes in some wild garden?
When the music fades to static-
And we're still swaying-
When the wolves are circling-
'Cause I need you better than them.
You just grab my shoulders trying to wake me up-
I'm always stuck inside a moment.
(Stuck inside a moment.)
Held tight; held tight-
First to your hand I'm a crashing passenger-
Since the last time it felt right.
Like you've confused me with someone else.
But it sounds so lovely when you say that.
It's like sometimes I fear you just don't know what you're sayin',
But I know you better than that...
I just wanna make you cake for your birthday-
For your birthday.
Hey lover-
Come over here.
I just wanna make you smile on your worst day.
On your worst day, ohh.
On your worst day-
On your worst day.
On your worst day-
On your worst day, ohh.
On your worst day-
I just wanna make you smile-
On your worst day.

For me at least, it seems to be someone trying to deal with a mental illness that's progressively getting worse and they want to get better for the person they're with but the person they're with has obligations (work, family, friends) and the person with the mental illness just wants their partner to stay with them to help over come the mental illness.
