Well, the sun’s beaming down before the little boy’s eyes
Feel like I’m living in a joke, and I am losing my mind
If maybe one of my desires weren’t so out of sight
I’d become more like them, and the darkness would be light
For the apples that I wanted have all disappeared, And the ones that remain try to keep things in gear
But from morning ‘till evening, they’re learning how to fly
And I’m always left below, always knew the reason why
CHORUS:
There’s the way we’ve become and the way we should be,
and the choice that I make never works out for me
You can hide in the shadows, or try to run away
but I’ll still be waiting at the end of the day
If the world that we live in were truly moving up,
I’d be everything I want, and you’d never get stuck
You can hide in the shadows, or try to run away
but I’ll still be waiting at the end of the day
Well, you gave me your word, then you had a change of plans.
And you left me in despair, with my face in my hands.
Well, I just want to know, was it worth it in the end?
Was there a smile on your face, when you lost yourself a friend?
For the apples that I wanted have all disappeared,
And the ones that remain try to keep things in gear
But from morning ‘till evening, they’re learning how to fly
And I’m always left below, always knew the reason why
(CHORUS)
Making others feel happy will always leave me sad.
Is there such a thing as love
or have I truly gone mad?
Hide in the shadows, try to run away
I will be waiting at the end of the day
It was never your fault,
I’m the one who was blind
Can’t you see if there’s a place
for my heart in your mind?
You only live once;
won’t you come out to play?
‘Cause I’ll still be waiting at the end of the day

Cam's one-man-band style of swampy blues transcends the streets of London (where he can usually be found busking) and is a must-listen for blues fans all over the world Joshua Batten
With his fourth full-length album, Mike Mills has given us 12 top tracks, each with its own unique characteristic. Blending prog, metal, folk and 80's synthrock, I don't just like it - I LOVE IT! Joshua Batten
supported by 4 fans who also own “At The End Of The Day”
I consider this album as a good introduction point to KGLW because it covers the music spectrum this great band has covered over the years. From psych rock to progressive to metal. A great way to have the Gizzard experience in one album. georgepeters92
