Oh, I'm getting in a cab and I'm the man
I'm sitting in the back
And the drivers got a name I can't understand
Through the mirror we make eye contact

He nods once, I nod back
I tell him where I'm going, he says, we can do that
Though there's no tension, I wanna break the ice
Make a connection, more than be nice

So I ask him
How's your day going?
How's your day so far?
How's your day going?
You been at this job way too long
I wanna know
How's your day going?

Well, I got outta the car, into the street
And walked to the Starbucks to get something to eat
I noticed all the folks there were waiting in line
Looking at their phone, biding their time

But I suddenly wanna talk but I don't know what to say
Something in the way we all keep our place
And the guy in the apron, he looks at me and nods
He says, dude

So I ask him
How's your day going?
How's your day so far?
How's your day going?
'Cause if we're all gonna die
Now's the time to be alive

And I'll be there when you fall
I'll be there when you call
I'll be there most of all
'Cause I have been gone too long

Be there when you fall
I'll be there when you call
Be there most of all

How's your day going?
How's your day so far?
How's your day going?
I been gone, gone, gone way too long
I wanna know
How's your day going?
How's your day so far?
How's your day going?
'Cause if we're all gonna die
Then now's the time to be alive
