Erin Hope - Body of the Day Lyrics

I wake up in a different skin, but the day's the same again
A stranger's face, a brand-new life, but it's always where I've been
Each morning brings a shift, a form I've never known
I play the part, I wear the mask, but I'm never on my own

I've been the lover, I've been the thief
I've felt their joy, I've lived their grief
But no matter what, the sun will rise
And I'll wake up in a new disguise

I'm living in the body of the day
Changing forms but the world won't change its way
A different face, a different role
But the same story's taking its toll
I'm someone new, yet still the same
Caught in this endless, shifting game

I've walked in shoes too big to fill, I've lived behind their eyes
From beggars on the city streets to queens beneath the skies
I learn their secrets, feel their pain, but the day will start anew
And just as I begin to know, I'm someone else, it's true

I've been the liar, I've been the saint
I've worn their fears like armor paint
But no matter how the day unfolds
By dawn, I'm back in hands not mine to hold

I'm living in the body of the day
Changing forms but the world won't change its way
A different face, a different role
But the same story's taking its toll
I'm someone new, yet still the same
Caught in this endless, shifting game

I wonder if there's more to find
A reason why I've left behind
The life I knew, the self I had
Now every day's a fleeting chance, both thrilling and so sad

I'm living in the body of the day
Changing forms but the world won't change its way
A different face, a different role
But the same story's taking its toll
I'm someone new, yet still the same
Caught in this endless, shifting game

Will this circle ever break?
Or am I just the lives I take?
I live their stories, fade away
And wake again in the body of the day

I wonder if there's more to find
A reason why I've left behind
The life I knew, the self I had
Now every day's a fleeting chance, both thrilling and so sad

I'm living in the body of the day
Changing forms but the world won't change its way
A different face, a different role
But the same story's taking its toll
I'm someone new, yet still the same
Caught in this endless, shifting game

Will this circle ever break?
Or am I just the lives I take?
I live their stories, fade away
And wake again in the body of the day

(body of the day)
(body of the day)
(I just wanna see tomorrow)
