Jackson Browne - On The Day lyrics

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
