The day came on strong
Got long and then was gone
I knew it'd be this way
And counted every second
And let it spin away
Now one more time for old time sake
We're all up at the lake
And we only care for crystal clear
Water anyway
That's just like Jay
They say he only cares about the flowers he paints
He'll be up at the easel capturing the detail
And all the beauty in a broken vase
A broken vase
A broken vase
A broken vase
A broken vase
I met you wearing a hospital grin
We'll never be the same
And shoulders tell the story well
While you lie poker straight
That's just like Jay
They say he only cares about the flowers he paints
He'll be up at the easel capturing every detail
And all the beauty in a broken vase
A broken vase
A broken vase
A broken vase
A broken vase
