Just a day, just an ordinary day Just trying to get by Just a boy, just an ordinary boy But he was looking to the sky And as he asked if I would come along I started to realize That every day he finds just what he's looking for And like a shooting star he shines And he said Take my hand Live while you can If we walk now we will Divide and conquer this land And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words Although they did not feel now For I felt what I had not felt before And you'd swear those words could heal And as I looked up into those eyes His vision borrows mine And I know he's no stranger for I feel I've held him for all of time And he said Take my hand Live while you can, now And if we walk now we will Divide and conquer this land Divide and conquer this land Divide and conquer this land Please come with me See what I see Touch the stars for time will not flee Time will not flee And you must be oh Just a dream, just an ordinary dream As I wake in bed And the boy, that ordinary boy Oh was it all in my head? Didn't he ask if I would come along? It all seemed so real But as I looked to the door I saw that boy Standing there with a deal And he said Take my hands Live while you can And if we walk now we will Divide and conquer this land Divide and conquer this land Divide and conquer this land Just a day, just an ordinary day Just trying to get by Just a boy, just an ordinary boy But he was looking to the sky

Vanessa Carlton compôs a música aos 17 anos e foi a primeira faixa que ela escreveu em uma única sessão.

Em apresentações ao vivo, Carlton utiliza letras originais que foram alteradas na versão de estúdio do álbum.
