A day is a unit of time, commonly defined as an interval equal to 24 hours. It also can mean that portion of the full day during which a location is illuminated by the light of the sun, also known as daytime. The period of time measured from local noon to the following local noon is called a solar day.
Several definitions of this universal human concept are used according to context, need and convenience. In 1967, the second was redefined in terms of the wavelength of light, and it became the SI base unit of time. The unit of measurement for time called "day", redefined in 1967 as 86,400 SI seconds and symbolized d, is not an SI unit, but it is accepted for use with SI. A civil day is usually also 86,400 seconds, plus or minus a possible leap second in Coordinated Universal Time UTC, and, in some locations, occasionally plus or minus an hour when changing from or to daylight saving time. The word day may also refer to a day of the week or to a calendar date, as in answer to the question "On which day?" Day also refers to the part of the day that is not night — also known as 'daytime'. The life patterns of humans and many other species are related to Earth's solar day and the cycle of day and night (see circadian rhythms).
Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actress. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed to the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's self-titled debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the youngest sole writer and singer of a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 50th Grammy Awards.
Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in late 2008. Buoyed by the chart success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", Fearless attracted a crossover audience and became the top-selling album of 2009. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Fearless also received Album of the Year plaudits at the American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards, making it the most awarded album in country music history. In 2010, Swift released her third album, Speak Now, which sold over one million copies in its first week. She then embarked on the 111-date Speak Now World Tour, which was attended by over 1.6 million fans and has become one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. The album's third single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. Swift is currently recording her fourth studio album, due for release in the fall of 2012.

Grey park look the same
And the days are pale
I never thought it would rain this way
I should be knowing this
It used to be me
Let's stay here for a while
Is something gonna happen
Today your smile has decayed
It will never be the same
I never thought I would laugh again
I should be knowing this
It used to be me
Let's stay here for a while
Is something gonna happen
Today now it's dark
And you're colder now
It's dark and i'm older now
It's dark and you're colder
And you tell me that my parks are grey
Let's stay here for a while
Is something gonna happen
Today grey park look the same
All the days are pale
I never thought it would rain this way
I should be knowing that
It used to be me
Let's stay here for a while
Is something gonna happen
A fool on the tightrope, the first step is pain
one moment not careful and your life was in vain
remember the first time, remember the sin
where's all the warnings blown in the wind
You roll the dice for your own paradise
Do you hear me - do you see me we will meet on judgement day
do you hear me - do you see me we will meet on judgement day
Another cool skin - tight look another temptation
the thin line is calling you again what will you do, will you bleed forever
the suicide way you can't wash away mistakes no healing - just pray
Remember the first time, remember the sin

Oh, sincerely
I must tell you that I really
Love you dearly
But you are so obsessed with yourself
There's no room for me
You can't give me all the things I need
We've said all we can say
Except our last goodnight
To end this day
Don't try changing my mind
You won't find a way
Just say hello
To our goodbye day.
Your reflection
What you see without detection
I see clearly
All your perfect imperfections
Colors turn to gray
I know it's time for me
To go away
Just look behind you now
It won't be me who's standing there
Just say hello to our goodbye day
We've said all we can say
Except our last goodnight
To end this day
Don't try changing my mind
You won't find a way
Just say hello
To our goodbye day
On the saddest day
On the saddest day
On the saddest day
Envy rides her bitter bullet down
Glad to see your bloods gone dry
Sip the luxury keep the offering
Only wanted to hide
Chorus:
On the saddest day of all
On the saddest day of all
I'm the greatest lie of all
On the saddest the saddest
Hardly felt the arms that comfort me
Numb the body can't complain
Ask forgiveness is to not relate (? ? )
Beg the angel to stay
Find me here, might be low
I said find me here
Might be right, I don't know
Find me
On the saddest day of all
On the saddest day of all
I'm the greatest lie of all
On the saddest the saddest
...........guitar solo...........
Find me here, might be low
I said find me here
Might be right, I don't know
Find me
On the saddest day of all
On the saddest day of all
On the saddest day of all
On the saddest day of all
On the saddest day of all
On the saddest day of all
I'm the greatest lie of all
On the saddest the saddest
I was your light
To the ...
Why do you cry today
Just because the sky is grey?
Cause it's okay if everyday
Is not the same way
It's just another way
That everyday is not the same
How can you see the sky
When you close your eyes?
How can you run away
Just because the sky is grey?
Cause it's okay if everyday
Is not the same way
It's just another way
That everyday is not the same
Cause it's okay if everyday
Is not the same way
It's just another way
That everyday is not the same
The day you told me you were dying was the day that I learned hopelessness
You stood there looking so brave oh my god I feel so selfish
I wish this day could last forever
How many times has that thought crossed my mind to just give up and end it all
Now I see you fighting so hard oh my god I feel so small
I wish this day could last forever
Its silly when I look at life now at all of the tragedies we create
And all the situations we get through we're biding time and then we blame fate
Why?
I wish this day could last forever
Day is the veil that you can't pull aside like a curtain
Sewn from a black cloth - a cloth that no-one can see.
No-one can take it away and you know this for certain.
No-one can help you, you might as well let the cloth be.
You no longer are able to see, you no longer have foresight.
And you can't part the curtain, there's no way to know what's in store.
You're stranded in time, a ghost that is lost in the twilight.
And the curtain is woven from the memories of time gone before.
Day is blank paper, but paper you never can write on,
Unlike the letters I hold that you sent to me.
But the words that you've written are buried speaking to no-one,
And words that have lost all their soul should never be.
You knew from the first touch this way was a pathway to danger.
You didn't take time to close all the doors and the gate.
Feelings can bring you so near and then leave you a stranger,
And things are not what they appear but find you too late.
Day is the thief that you don't have the courage to track down,
Who forces himself into all of the rooms of your home.
He comes to your garden, your secrets - he's quiet! Makes no sound.
He steals all the answers and leaves all the questions alone.
And you know there'll be days, just like the ones that you once knew.
And you know that love is really a question of thirst.
And you know that one day there will by a new power within you.
Some people are a sickness on this land
They're killing, they're taking, they're stealing
Whatever they can
Anything, anything, anything that is not bolted down
Your life, your money, your heart, your faith, your bike
Anything that is not bolted down
Learn from the animals, monkeys do
Monkeys do piggish things too
Learn from the vegetables, monkeys do
The way they strive towards the light
A small potato in the blight
Still strives towards the light
I know it's as dark as night
It's as dark as night
It is day though
Some would ask, what are we to do
With a world that crumbles to the touch?
A world that spins and dies where it stands,
Like trying ain't enough?
To family is all you can do
To family is all you can do
Even if it's just us two
To family is all you can do
And strive towards the light
Strive towards the light
It's as dark as night
Strive towards the light
Strive towards the light
I know it's as dark as night
