Possibility Days

It was a cold 3 A.M. at JFK

I guess you stayed cause you wanted to stay

And we went from zero to everything all in a day

And then Kennedy took you away

I thought of a short road that was keeping you warm

And the moments that make up your life till you wake up

You sit on a swing and you talk with the girl

She tells you she wanted to kiss you

And you know the worst part of a good day

Is hearing yourself say

Goodbye to one more possibility day

Goes on and on

I go west but your weather has changed

You're just scared I mistake it for strange

When you want me to leave then

You start to believe I should stay

I gotta get out of L.A.

It seems like the short days are over

'Cause you just don’t sleep in the daylight

So I don’t sit up nights

I lie on my back on top of the hill and your body

Is breaking the sky 'cause you're shaking

And the worst part of a good day

Is knowing it's slipping away

That's one more possibility day

It's gone

We were waiting for winter this year

But you came and it never appeared

Me and you we know too many reasons

For people and seasons

That pass like they weren’t even here

Now living in smiles is better you say

We carry the burdens of all of our days

Just scared that you’ll leave

You’re scared that I'll stay

It's an impossibility day

And we only saw half of the ballet

I said good night, goodbye

Seems like a good thing

So you know it's a good lie

You can run out of choices

And still hear a voice in your head

When you’re lying in bed

And it says that the best part of a bad day

Is knowing it's ok

The color of everything changes

The sky rearranges its shade

And the smile doesn’t fade

Into the phone call

And one bad decision we made

And the worst part of a good day

Is the one thing you don’t say

And you don’t know how but you

Wish there was some way

You pull down the shades

And you shut out the light

Because somehow we mixed up

Goodbye and good night

And you one thing you won’t say

Is everyone knows possibility days

Are impossible

It just feels wrong, so wrong

Still you’re gone, long gone
