Kissing The Day Lyrics

Nothing you say
Can hurt me now
Into the space
I fell, I fall

A strange river is deep and I
Into the dark I dive

I took leave
Kissing the day
Took leave
Kissing your mouth
Supportively
Kissing the day

It took some time for me to try
To learn to love this child of mine
Not for nothing she survived
Into this space
I feel to find

I took leave
Kissing the day
Took leave
Kissing your mouth
Supportively
Kissing the day

Your saddest hour
Is too late so cry
Your tears could be
Your saddest now

I took leave
Kissing the day
Took leave
Kissing your mouth
Supportively
Kissing the day

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I first heard this song while watching G-String Divas on HBO, it was the episode that profiled Jordan and the art and science of lapdances, and she was like poledancing or something with her pimp boyfriend watching from the bar and I was struck dumb at how beautiful and profound this song was in addition to the lapdance-friendly-beat. I'm not sure what this song is about really but the vocals communicate this unbearable presence of love and emotion, a positive and reaffirming thing really.
