1st Verse

She's got everything she wanted
A backyard full of maple trees
A picture window in the kitchen
Like she dreamed
Her husband brings her flowers
He's the father of her sons
And she wonders if she's the only one
Unsatisfied

2nd Verse

His job is good and steady
His heart is stong and pure
It's not that he wants anyone but her
He can't quite put a finger
On just what weighs him down
But there are days he feels
Just like he could drown
Unsatisfied

Chorus

There was (there was)
A day (a day)
When life wasn't in the way
Is it him (him)
Is it her (or her)
How do you know for sure
When it's too much to ask
For another glass

3rd Verse

They pose for the family picture
Like they do most every year
But it doesn't change the people living here
So they go on, go on, go on (go on)
'Cause if they stop, they might admit
That somewhere, somehow
There's somethin' that they missed
But they'll lay down again tonight
Side by side
Unsatisfied

Tag Chorus

There was (there was)
A day (a day)
When life wasn't in the way
There was a day
