Spectacular Day With Some Exceptions

I heard a blue jay in the distance…
I open up the curtains…ooh…
Forgive me if I drift away
I wanna soar like a bird…
You gave me that smile and you made my day
You made my day a spectacular one…
With some exceptions 

Tempted to do wrong…oh how I hate those countless deceptions
Writing a new song…oh I hate those wild, countless temptations
Waiting to belong…trying to make this cherry-top decision
Tempted to do something quite horrid
Wanting to do something productive for once 
Weeping with regret and dread

I heard a classical song not long ago
Forget me if I say the wrong words 
That tear you apart…waiting to depart
From depression…ooh…
I’m persistently trying to grab a hold of myself
I’m feeling sore…my heart is bleeding out
You give me that look of suspicion 
I feel free like birds out of the cage…
You made my day a spectacular one…
With some exceptions 

Tempted to do wrong…oh how I hate those countless deceptions
Writing a new song…oh I hate those wild, countless temptations
Waiting to belong…trying to make this cherry-top decision
Tempted to do something quite horrid
Wanting to do something productive for once 
Weeping with regret and dread

Sleeping without a sound…
I tried to sing a song, but my voice drowned…
In the ocean, I fall…
On the mountains, I call…
Graze in your own maze…
In other words, mind your own business
You give me a death stare…an eccentric gaze
You made my day a spectacular one…
With some exceptions 

Tempted to do wrong…oh how I hate those countless deceptions
Writing a new song…oh I hate those wild, countless temptations
Waiting to belong…trying to make this cherry-top decision
Tempted to do something quite odd…I’m about to (lose control…)x4 
Wanting to do something productive for once
Trying to do something that will kill those negative thoughts 
I glance at the mirror and I fade away…
(Ooh…oooh…ooh…)x2 I’m turning the wrong way…
Oh! Oh oh…oh oh…it’s a spectacular day…
With some exceptions…
Ohh…ohh…ohh…
