LYRICS:

I've got a day and a reason 
Why I should not believe in..anything, anymore
What's this for?
My time well spent
I've got all these memories that I cannot believe in 
Cause I don't know where I've been all these years
All these years

And do you know this reason
I hope that you can see it cause I will not give up 
And we all know what you've done again
I can see right through you
You're making your way over again..again

Two days after leaving and I don't have a reason to keep you from being here
I don't steer these thoughts away
I know that you know this but I could never get you to believe all my fears 
Is this your clear?
I think so

And do you know this reason
I hope that you can see it cause I will not give up 
and we all know what you've done again
I can see right through you
You're making your way over again..again..again..and again

And do you know this reason? 
I hope that you can see it cause I will not give up
And we all know what you've done again
I can see right through you
You're making your way over again..again..again 

And do you know this reason? 
I hope that you can see it. 
Cause I will not give up and we all know what you've done again
I can see right through you
You're making your way over again...

No Picture Ger Wanna Be	#1 by Ger Hart at Dec 21, 1971 at 9:45 AM EST
	"Two days after leaving and I don't have a reason to keep you from being here" who else thinks that this part means he cannot keep her from being in his heart!?

No Picture cesar Average	#2 by cesar avila at Jan 28, 1972 at 10:16 PM EST
	i think it's "i don't steer these thoughts away". the song is absolutely precious.

No Picture Greg Lead Player	#3 by Greg Marshall at Sep 8, 1983 at 5:06 AM EST
	I think he's trying to say that someone that he's known/been with for a really long time has hurt him (most likely cheating) and he left them, but he misses her, and is almost regretting it. The chorus sort of says that he can see that she's trying to get him back, and that he's considering both sides.... great song, great band. TEN kick ass. [clare]

No Picture jimmy Lead Player	#4 by jimmy matthews at May 12, 1985 at 1:07 PM EST
	i think this song is underrated. ace does a wonderful job singing in this one. its one that can be played on repeat and not get old, it dominates.

No Picture Nick Average	#5 by Nick Roomsburg at Oct 17, 1985 at 8:58 PM EST
	could anyone please show me whats the meaning of this song??

No Picture sebastian Wanna Be	#6 by sebastian Shamburg at Nov 4, 1989 at 8:56 PM EST
	this was the first early november song i heard and i feel in love with them from the first line... i absolutely LOVE his voice in this song

No Picture Andy Average	#7 by Andy Яowley at Aug 7, 1996 at 11:04 PM EST
	im with "clarelvsmychem" on the meaning. i realy like this song too!

No Picture 123 Wanna Be	#8 by 123 123 at Oct 7, 1997 at 2:22 AM EST
	I think Ace is trying to use the same formula from Sunday Drive, and it doesn't work as well. I mean Dinner..is a good song, but doesn't compare to other acoustic songs by ace.

No Picture Brian Average	#9 by Brian Dempsey at Oct 24, 1998 at 12:58 PM EST
	"Two days after leaving and I don't have a reason to keep you from being here" It doesn't mean he can't keep her from being in his heart, it means they broke up, and before she left she asked if he could think of any reason for her to stay, and even though he wants her there more than anything, he has no reason to keep her there.

No Picture Chris Average	#10 by Chris Prescott at Dec 1, 2001 at 11:16 AM EST
	I loveee this song, but then again, I love all Early November songs... but there's something about this song that gets me, there's something very real and honest about it and just makes a lot of sense. Plus it's just a good song!
