Day By Day
Navigating Life's Challenges: Day By Day with The Vaughns
Lyrics
I can't comprehend what you're dealing with
I struggle to understand what challenges you're facing
But I promise that I'll be here to listen
I assure you that I am here to lend an ear and support
While you sit silent I overcompensate
While you remain quiet, I compensate by being overly expressive
Acting silly to keep a smile on your face
I act silly to maintain a smile on your face
I'm a talker, I don't know
I am naturally inclined to talk rather than stay silent
How to act around you so I go
I'm unsure how to behave around you, so I tend to talk
I walk around and I make jokes
I make jokes and move around, attempting to lighten the mood
But they're not working, you're still hurting
Despite my efforts, your pain persists and my jokes are ineffective
I can't make cancer go away
I cannot make the illness (cancer) disappear
And I don't know the right words to say
I lack the appropriate words to alleviate the situation
I'll be there for you either way
Regardless, I promise to stand by you in any circumstance
Hey babe, let's take this day by day
Suggesting a commitment to face challenges one day at a time
How many times
Pondering how frequently promises of resolution are made
Can they promise the end
Reflecting on the repeated assurances of a favorable outcome
While we sit by and wish for the best
While we hope for the best, we are passive observers
It's way too easy to get stuck on the odds
It's easy to become fixated on the statistical probability
So what a time to trust in a god
Choosing to trust in a higher power during challenging times
I'm a talker, I make jokes
I continue to make jokes as a way of coping
Sometimes they work right now they don't
Acknowledging that sometimes my jokes provide comfort, other times not
I don't doubt that we'll make it through
Expressing confidence that we will overcome difficulties
Cause I'd do anything for you I'd do anything for you
Emphasizing a willingness to do anything for the person
I'll rub your back and get all the knots
Offering physical comfort and assistance, symbolized by back rubs
I'll make you dinner and I'll scrub the pots
Committing to household chores to ease the burden
I'll clean the litter and I'll fold all the socks
Willingness to handle mundane tasks for the well-being of the other
It's true I'd do anything for you
Reiterating the readiness to do anything for the person
I'd do anything for you
Repeated affirmation of the commitment to do anything
I can't make this go away
Acceptance of the inability to make the difficult situation disappear
And I don't know the right words to say
Admission of the lack of perfect words to provide comfort
I'll be there for you either way
Promising continued support in any circumstance
Hey babe, let's take this day by day by day
Reiterating the commitment to face challenges one day at a time
Day by day
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of facing challenges daily
I'd do anything for you
Reaffirming the willingness to do anything for the person
I'd do anything for you
Repeating the unwavering commitment to do anything for the person
