(Intro — shouted group signature, tight rhythmic stutter) K-K-K-KYRODITH! (Soft five-part harmony) The other days, too… I want the other days, too. (Verse 1 — lead 1, warm and conversational) You called to cancel dinner, Said, “I’m not much fun tonight.” Then laughed before the hard part, Like that would make it light. (Lead 2 — gentle, slightly breathy) You asked about my weekend, Changed the subject halfway through. I said, “Forget the reservation. I can order in with you.” (Pre-Chorus — lead 3; melody rises, harmonies gradually join) You don’t have to make me laugh Or say you’re doing fine. If you’d like a little company, I’ve got nothing else in mind. (Chorus — all five voices; strong melodic lead, wide harmonies) Don’t save me for your best days, I want the other ones too. When you’ve got no good story, When there’s nothing new. You don’t have to make it special, I’m in love with you. Don’t save me for your best days. I want the other ones too. (Post-Chorus — lead and group call-and-response) The other ones— (The other ones too.) Nothing much to say, Nothing much to do. The other ones— (The other ones too.) If that’s the day you’re having, I still wanna spend it with you. (Verse 2 — lead 4, playful affection; light rhythmic phrasing) Your earrings land beside the remote, Your shoes don’t make it past the hall. You ask, “Is this a waste of Friday?” I say, “My favorite one of all.” (Lead 2 returns; intimate delivery) Your cold feet find me on the sofa, You talk right through the final scene. I don’t remember how it ended, But I was where I wanted to be. (Pre-Chorus — lead 3; brighter harmonies, stronger lift) You don’t have to make me laugh Or say you’re doing fine. If you’d like a little company, I’ve got nothing else in mind. (Chorus — all five voices; fuller doubles, sustained upper harmony) Don’t save me for your best days, I want the other ones too. When you’ve got no good story, When there’s nothing new. You don’t have to make it special, I’m in love with you. Don’t save me for your best days. I want the other ones too. (Bridge — lead 5, vulnerable and clear; sparse accompaniment) One day I’ll be the one who calls And says, “Can we stay in?” I hope you say, “I’ve got the time. Tell me what kind of day it’s been.” (All five voices enter softly, then build) Let the food go cold. We can heat it up again. You can start the story over. I’ll be here until the end. (Final Chorus — soaring lead, five-part harmonies; expressive ad-libs between phrases) Don’t save me for your best days, I want the other ones too. When you’ve got no good story, When there’s nothing new. You don’t have to make it special, I’m in love with you. Don’t save me for your best days. I want the other ones too. (Final Post-Chorus — joyful group response, high harmony above the lead) The other ones— (The other ones too.) Nothing much to say, Nothing much to do. The other ones— (The other ones too.) If that’s the day you’re having, I still wanna spend it with you. (Outro — close solo voice; soft group harmony underneath) “Same time next Friday?” “Yeah. Whatever kind of day.” (Five voices, gently sustained) The other days, too.
