SAVE THE DAY

"It isn't me," I said
To the voices in her head
"I'm sorry... I don't know what I'm doin' here."
The prince she hoped to meet
Got stuck in traffic
Now it's up to me

I'm sorry...

          And I haven't had a bite to eat since morning
          And it's not my drama anyway
          But give me just
          A moment to prepare myself
          And I will save the day
          I will save the day

So it's here at last
The new catastrophe she ordered
Where do I sign?
Where do I have to be?
To keep a step or two or three
Ahead of all the bedlam
She ordered


          And she hasn't had a drop to drink all weekend
          Adding to the disarray
          But give her just
          A moment to restore my trust
          And I will save the day
          I will save the day
          And I'm gonna do like I seen `em
          Swing from a chandelier
          Everything's crystal clear
          To heroes
          I suppose


Once upon a time
I knew a pretty borderline
She told me, "I don't know what I'm doin' here
It's not a friendly place
So you gotta find yourself a brave face."
She told me


          And I haven't had a drop to drink all morning
          And I'm doin' fine or so they say
          And it's alright
          But I been up all night
          Trying to save the day
          And I will save the day
          I will save the day
