Save Your Day Lyrics

Cover art for Save Your Day lyrics by José González

the song is about attaching yourself to someone you can no longer help - enablement, perhaps. its about how you can try to save someone all you want but sometimes you just end up losing yourself in that person's problems.

"Poke the body with a stick Roll it down Ignore the moaning as it tumbles to the ground Be brave and save your day"

"To cough up sympathy isn't hard but it costs"

->for some people, it isn't hard to pity someone and immerse yourself in their pain but it can end up tearing you apart

-> you can't destroy yourself

-> he's saying let go of that person no matter how painful it may be because they're "dead" and you're being brought down with them
