Calendar Days

The Rocket Summer Calendar Days Lyrics
1.This Is Me

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Everyday I wake up late
Since I quit my day job, I have been sane
But responsibilities sure do remain
But I'll just let them wait

Because I don't know what I am doing now
And I won't try to act like it 'cause I sure don't know how
And I'll admit that I don't know, just where I'm going on this
long
And winding road, that's taking me to what will be my home

So stare and see that this is me, and I will be just what I need
to believe
That something is what I'm gonna be
And what you do is what you do and what I do needs to be true
The things I do maybe need to be thought through
But just remember what's right for me, might be not right for
you

Staring at this mirror and I'm wondering who you are
But now is a time for searching and I just wish I had a car
To drive a long distance and just think about the war
And now life's got so much more

Because I don't know what I am doing now
And I won't try to act like it 'cause I sure don't know how
And I'll admit that I don't know, just where I'm going on this
long
And winding road, that's taking me to what will be my home

So stare and see that this is me, and I will be just what I need
to believe
That something is what I'm gonna be
And what you do is what you do, and what I do needs to be true
The things I do maybe need to be thought through

But I know what I want to do and I want it to be true
And yeah I'd be the first to say that of course I'll listen to
you
But remember what's right for me, might be not right for you


2.TV Family

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Just a calendar day, ba ba ba ba
It's funny how things can stay the same
Or drastically change
Some things seem so close
On some days but still so far away

Don't know the right things to do, ba ba ba ba
In fact I don't have a clue sometime I feel like a tool
And I want to be truthfully true to you
And do all the things that you do

But when I hate everything
About the mean things that I say
It feels like I mess up so much and I can only say
'I hate everything about my way's'
But you tell me I'm okay
And one day one day I know you'll say, say

'B I'm so glad you made it'
'Oh, well Jesus, thank you so much for saying that'
Because the truth you know is
That I have just been hating so many things I do

But now I realize forever that you're my friend
No matter what you will never leave me to fend
I don't know much but I know we will be
As happy as a 1950's TV family
Except times infinity

Two calendar days, ba ba ba ba
And still my life is the same
And other people's have changed
I wonder what if I'm too late
All the times that I said I would just wait?

And yeah does anyone care
About us here or anywhere?
Well, I just want to try and dare
To be there, to care
'Cause I know, I know that's rare

But when I hate everything
About the mean things that I say
It feels like I mess up so much and I can only say
'I hate everything about my way's'
But you tell me I'm okay
And one day one day I know you'll say, say

'B I'm so glad you made it'
'Oh, well Jesus, thank you so much for saying that'
Because the truth you know is
That I have just been hating so many things I do

But now I realize forever that you're my friend
No matter what you will never leave me to fend
I don't know much but I know we will be
As happy as a 1950's TV family
Except times infinity

A family that I will be in
A family, it's just not pretend
A family that I will be in, a family

I don't know much but I know we will be
Happy as a 1950's TV family
Except times infinity

Just a calendar day
Just a calendar day
Just a calendar day


3.What We Hate, We Make

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Don't try to hide the mistakes I made this time
But please try and listen
'Cause I'm breaking my heart tonight
So you can see what's inside

'Cause wherever you go, well that's where I'll go
I'd do so much I'll show but you won't know
So here's a song to show for the things I've blown
But I'm sorry so that's the only way that I know

And all I've learned is what we hate, we make
What we hate, we make
There's no time for hating
But what we hate, we make

Something's about to change
'Cause I can feel it in my heart today
And you know it's not the first time
But I bet it won't be the same

'Cause right now I'm at an all time low
So here's a song just so you won't go
'Cause that's the only thing that I know

And I will start with a verse then a bridge, write a chorus
So we can all sing along with everything we got
Between you and me this song would be
Written for us but I know that's not enough to say I'm sorry

What we hate, we make
What we hate, we make
There's no time for hating
What we hate, we make

What we hate, we make
What we hate, we make
There's no time for hating
What we hate, we make

What we hate, we make
What we hate, we make
There's no time for hating
What we hate, we make

And you will know what you will be
Yeah, you will know what you mean to me
Yeah, you will know that truthfully, I am sorry


4.Movie Stars and Super Models

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

How come my life ain't like this movie?
I should try to look some more like that
Maybe then I could be a movie star
Maybe then you'd always laugh at my jokes

'Cuz life would be just like this movie
And I would never feel alone, in fact
All the problems that I have would go away
And I would forget how to feel sad

'Cuz this silver screen that I'm looking at
Is making me a little bored of my life
'Cuz it's not what I'm looking at
'Cuz this has so much more of excitement
Thrills and adventurous things in every life
And a sparkle is the reflection in my eye

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
If only the shows were as real as the glows
Then we'd never see the same but I guess we'll never know

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
Well they showed it, and we bought it
So you see it's not just me, it's sweet, it's in the movie

She wants a better body and some super model moves
'Cuz in her head she's always been the ugly one
Well hey, we think we're ugly too and it's true that we will
never know
All of the things that she could have known
Well I wonder when she thought it was that she would win
'Cuz man she got so thin

Every now and then she would start to pretend
Like she was a star and in the movies they're in
But it's strange 'cuz it seems there's never happy endings
Make believe, is it make believe?

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
If only the shows were as real as the glows
Then we'd never see the same but I guess we'll never know

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
Well they showed it, and we bought it
So you see it's not just me, it's sweet, it's in the movie


5.Mean Thoughts and Cheap Shots

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

I'm not losing my war that's in my mind
And I will spread my wings and soar
And I will fly and no, I will never deny
What's in my heart, what's in my life, will be justified

The mean thoughts and cheap shots
They will not weaken me
The mean thoughts and cheap shots
Will weaken me, that's for sure

And I won't be afraid of taking this out
I know I'll be safe and sound
'Cause you will be with me
Fighting in all these rounds

And I'll shout out so loud
I know without a doubt
That I'll be standing there when you go down
'Cause all these things I've seen

Well, now I'll try my best
And you will be with me to never second guess
And we will show the world just how we passed this test
And we will show the world we're better than this mess

'Cause I'm not losing my war that's in my mind
And I will spread my wings and soar
And I will fly and no, I will never deny
What's in my heart, what's in my life, will be justified

The mean thoughts and cheap shots
They will not weaken me
The mean thoughts and cheap shots
Well, we're not weakening, that's for sure

The mean thoughts and cheap shots
And mean lies and mean plots
And mean thoughts and cheap shots
Won't last for long

'Cause all these things I've seen, well, now I'll try my best
And you will be with me to never second guess
And we will show the world just how we passed this test
And we will show the world we're better than this mess

'Cause I'm not losing my war that's in my mind
And I will spread my wings and soar
Because I will fly and no, I will never deny
What's in my heart, what's in my life, will be justified

The mean thoughts and cheap shots
They will not weaken me
The mean thoughts and cheap shots
Well, we're not weakening, that's for sure

The mean thoughts and cheap shots
And mean lies and mean plots
And mean thoughts and cheap shots
Won't last for long


6.That's So You

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

It's a beautiful day
Now I'll be okay now that you're not away
Yesterday, was a terrible day
And now that you're here I'm okay

'Cause you don't know
How much I, I need you
Please don't go
You're so wonderful
This I swear, this I know

You, oh you every single thing you do
I'm so proud of you what you do
When you do the things you do
They're so you

So thanks for your help
You shine so bright
You are the star that's in my sky
And I am yours and you are mine

You, you every single thing you do
I'm so proud of you, what you do
When you do, the things you do
They're so you

And I'm so proud of you, that's so you, alright


7.She's My Baby

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Work's been rough, hear too much stuff like
They don't get it so tough
It's like I haven't heard that enough
Better luck next month

Here's how it sounds to be let down
After going round and round
You just step back and think, wow
I guess it's actually a silent sound

But then there's she
And she's my baby
She's so good to me
She's my baby

Becoming lost is where I am at, so much time has passed
And I'm stuck trying to relive the past when I can't go back
Will somebody just save me?
'Cause I'm growing up so fast, and yeah it ain't really a blast

Because I just dusted off some records that I bought at fourteen
Then I busted into tears 'cause I didn't believe
The melodies and memories
'Cause then I see the fallen dreams

But then there's she
And she's my baby
She's so good to me
Oh, she's my baby

Yes you are, yes you are, yes you are, yes you are
She's my baby
She's so good to me
Oh, she's my baby

Yeah, you mean everything
You mean everything to me


8.Saturday

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Don't try asking
'Cause I never know what to say
Except just everything
A few minutes later in the day

How come everybody else seems so happy
And have intelligent things to say?
'Cause you know that isn't me
I think I'd be happy if it was a Saturday

And yeah, if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better in every way, every way
And I would be okay

'Cause then I would start
To try to find a way to say, 'Hey there you are!'
I need to find a way to be and sound smart
I need to find a way but man it's so hard

I need to think it's just not anything will do
I need to think this time is time for me and you
To be a phrase that I would always use
In the context like I belong to you

And yeah, if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better in every way, every way
And I would be okay

And yeah, if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better than was yesterday, yesterday
I would surely say that I'd be here for you

And I hope that you'd be too and I'll tell the truth
When I say that I need you, yeah, I do
But I know you might not come
But I need you everywhere

Take a breath and close my eyes
And just think about this and say

I need you please to save me
I wanna be your baby
I wanna see you and me
Together this Saturday

And yeah, if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better in every way, every way
And I would be okay

And yeah, if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better than was yesterday, yesterday
And I would surely say

All the times I've been afraid
Well I'm gonna make it this Saturday


9.Skies So Blue

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Man I just saw something
I'm glad that you are here
I got to start to thinking
And seeing things so clear

'Cause now how could I forget what she left
What happened in November is what I needed
And I'm sorry, that it shows
But life ain't so bad you know

Now the skies such a sweet blue
You made this come true my heart feels so new
It's now wonderful to see beautiful views
Like skies that are so blue, I'll never leave us you know

I turn it off for this, looks like we got what we wished.
It snowed in Texas but you missed the first time since '86
And I can't stop thinking of how wonderful this is
And I'm sorry, I sound glad, but I'll always be so sad

Now the skies such a sweet blue
You made this come true my heart feels so new
It's now wonderful to see beautiful views
Like skies that are so blue

And I know that sometimes
Oh I might feel alone, so broken, cold
Now I'll show that I know that

The skies such a sweet blue
You made this come true my heart feels so new
It's now wonderful to see beautiful views
Like skies that are so blue, I'll never leave us you know


10.Cross My Heart

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Cross my heart, hope to die
I swear, I won't say what happened that night
So starting today things are gonna be all right
Your best you tried and yeah, you did fine
No better than fine, perfect in my mind
In fact, I wish your heart was mine

And I can hear the memory in my ears
Back to the years and all of those tears
But hear me when I say I'm glad we steered that way
'Cause now we're here

Do you want to get away? Get in the car, we can leave today
Do you want to celebrate our just made little holiday?
'Cause now, today is your day
And all that stuff you used to take
I'm glad you threw all that away 'cause now you look so great
You never need to be afraid, just know you went the right way

'Cause even though we never get things right
And it gets so hard just saying we'll keep trying
But, it's mine to decide when I'll be alright

I know you're going crazy
But happy is all that you make me
And things are gonna get better, baby
I know everything went wrong okay
But now it's time to get some better days
'Cause I don't want to keep acting this way

'Cause man, I know we never get things right
And it gets so old just saying we'll keep trying
But it's mine to decide when and if I'll be alright
And that's just a thing that takes time

So keep going till you know when it's time, when it's right
Keep showing yourself in that light
'Cause back in school, man that gets cruel
But one thing is true is that man now look at you
Your heart is big enough for two

'Cause I can hear the memories in my ears
Back to the years and all of those tears
But hear me when I say I'm glad 'cause we're here

I know you're going crazy
But happy is all that you make me
And things are gonna get better, baby
I know everything went wrong okay
But now it's time to get some better days
'Cause I don't want to keep acting this way

'Cause man, I know we never get things right
And it gets so old just saying we'll keep trying
But it's mine to decide when and if I'll be alright
And that's just a thing that takes time


11.She's A Seven

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

One, two, three do you love me?
Four, five, six, you're a seven
On a scale of how much
You make me feel closer to heaven

I don't know, how she could show
All the love that's inside her
Oh yeah, but how it hurts
'Cause we know that we can't let go
'Cause it's so the worst without her

I'm making myself good
So the day that I come to you
To see this through
You don't mean to be so cute

Without you, I don't know what I would do
But sometimes you make me so confused
You don't mean to seem so rude

'Cause it's cold outside you know
When you're away I try to be so right
Close those big brown eyes tonight
Make my dreams come true and be mine

Go to this place you go
You don't see
How much you mean to me
Mean to me

Drama attack, hard to hold back
When you're sad, you decide that
It all comes down that, you saw that
Now you need that
It's hard not to come back

Walking this view
Thinking of too many times I fell for you
You know it's sad but true
But everything I do is for you
(And I still do)

I'm making myself good
So the day that I come to you
To see this through
You don't mean to be so cute

Without you, I don't know what I would do
But sometimes you make me so confused
You don't mean to seem so rude

'Cause it's cold outside you know
When you're away I try to be so right
Close those big brown eyes tonight
Make my dreams come true and be mine

Go to this place you go
You don't see
How much you mean to me
Mean to me

I don't know
How I don't regret those times
That every time I'd fall
Sometimes I wonder why I talk

I don't know how I could have thought
That you had found a place to stop
Just hoping like me, you had thought
That we're all we've got

I'll say to myself that I don't care
I'll be here for you any day or anywhere
You just say those words
And I'll be there 'cause I don't care anymore
