On the Day - Jackson Browne

You really need someone on your side

But you run away and hide

Whenever somebody’s going to get through

You’ve got this wall in front of you

You put your arm around me and smile

But you’re thinking all the while

Yeah, your friends only go so far

However close friends think they are

On the day

On the day you fall in love

Gonna pray

You’re gonna pray that your love is enough

You’ve had the world in the palm of your hand

Since you turned from child to man

No one can tell you a thing you don’t know

You see your life as a one man show

But you’re not whole

There are things you don’t control

You’re going to know what I’m talking about

On the day love finds you out

On the day

On the day you fall in love

Gonna pray

You better pray--

It’s your life, you try to know

Which way the answers lie, which way to go

'Cause you survive, don’t mean you grow

Open your eyes, look out below

Look out--

On the day

On the day you fall in love

Gonna pray

You better pray

On the day

On the day you fall in love

Gonna pray

You better pray
