about

The tile comes from a fictional bus ticket. A trip out sometimes saves the day, if not the family...

lyrics

So have it your way
I'll see them when you want
If only for an hour or two
We could all spend time together
That's not what you want
You'd rather let decay
What we all had together
In your own hateful way

The Broken Family DaySaver oh please save us now

I go on day trips with my two
I do not know what else to do
'Daddy cries when he's happy as well as when he's sad'
An empty message to try to push through.

The Broken Family DaySaver will not save us now

And will my same wish made with different coins Thrown into wishing wells, wishing streams
Wishing pools on days out save this family? No.

You go on walks with him and them
They're dropped round her and
They're telling me of him
When they're with me I know that you're with him
Jesus saves when he knows where to begin

The Broken Family DaySaver cannot save us now
