The Way It Seems

I made it out

You're in it up to your neck

I'm out of words to say

You listen anyway

I made a mess

Of all the quiet places

Hide my head away

Until another day

I told myself

I'm not where I want to be

That you're somewhere else

I couldn't hope to be

If there's nothing wrong

That's only the way it seems

When your life goes on

Let it go easily

I get a breath

But you can't spare a minute

All this idle time

Is better yours than mine

I fell asleep

On your side of the mattress

It's such a hill to climb

To always feel alive
