The Cotones - How Was Your Day, by the Way? Lyrics

In the company of friends, she keeps a dress rehearsal smile
Small talk seems so normal after a while
'Til she found herself another lover living left of the dial
Who she thought would someday tidy up and meet her down the aisle
But she was falling faster
And he couldn't catch her
No matter what she wanted him to say
Was it I love you to wake up to?
Or affection to publicly display?
No, it's not that tall an order, buddy
No, no, no, just
How was your day, by the way?
She was lying in the bathtub with the water running thin
And the pills on the windowsill looked like they wanted to take a swim
With the lines of the years of silent pain cracked along her skin
And the moon beamed down, mocking them with its patronizing grin
But she was falling faster
And he couldn't catch her
No matter what she wanted him to say
Was it I'm there for you when you're feeling blue?
Or sentiments that border on cliché?
Oh, it's not that complicated
No, no, no, just
How was your day, by the way?
