DOWN
By Nate Bernardini

Don't you know that if somebody needs you,
That it means they need you now?
And if you don't go when they call you
They're going down, down, down, down, down?

Like when I hit rock bottom baby
Cause you were busy with some other man.
You just left me to go crazy.
You were the only one to calm me down.
Had your mother never told you

That if somebody needs you
That it means they need you now?
And if you don't go when they call you
They're going down, down, down, down, down?

Well I figured this time you meant it
But I needed you to make it clear
After all, you were my closest companion.
Was my love so hard to bare?
How could you turn from my tears

When I cried that I need you
And I begged to see you now?
You wouldn't come when I called you
So I went down, down, down, down, down.

And now you're with that man you swore
Was simply just your friend.
And although I saw it coming,
we could have had a better end.
And still I hope that if you leave him, too,
You'll remember what I said

In case he needs you,
and he says he needs you now,
If you don't go when he calls you
He's going down, down, down, down, down.

Like when I hit rock bottom baby
Cause you were busy with that other man.
You just left me to go crazy.
You were the only one to calm me down.
How could you turn from my tears?

The One Day Fly Germersheim, Germany

The One Day Fly is not a cover band. They only perform original music – not to annoy their audience but to make more room for local, independent music. Tackling subjects like capitalist exploitation, dancing on moonlit beaches and shopping for love online, their songs paint an ever-changing picture of western society and the complex human condition. ... more
