Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tuesday there's a movie
Tuesday there's a couch
Tuesday somebody says my name
And a dead nerve wakes up in my mouth
Tuesday I bring dessert
Like a person, like a friend
Tuesday I'm alive from five to ten
And I never want Tuesday to end
[Verse 2]
Thursday I put on the coat
The one that wears my face
Thursday there's a schedule
And a car and an address
Thursday runs on autopilot
Or it used to, that's the catch
Somebody lit a pilot light in me
And Thursday's striking match
[Chorus]
I'm two girls in one body
And the body keeps the books
One girl gets the kindness
One girl gets the looks
I used to leave, I used to float
I used to feel no rain
Now Tuesday's growing nerve ends
And Thursday's growing pain
[Verse 3]
Tuesday taught me laughing
Thursday makes me pay for it
Tuesday grew the feeling back
Thursday says no place for it
I scrub the night off in the shower
Till the water's running cold
The thaw is not a mercy
When you're still being sold
[Chorus]
I'm two girls in one body
And the body's wearing thin
One life keeps me human
One life clocks me in
I used to leave, I used to float
Above it all, no pain
Now every Thursday's Tuesday's bill
And I feel everything again
[Bridge]
Two days
Cannot keep living
In the same skin
One of them is going to kill the other
One of them is going to kill the other
And I know which one I'm rooting for
I know which one I'm rooting for
[Final Chorus]
I'm two girls in one body
But the lease is almost done
Tuesday's at the window
And Thursday's on the run
I held a lamp against the dark
I walked the hours through
Tuesday, Tuesday, hold the light
I'm coming home to you
[Outro]
I'm coming home
