Possibility Days

It was a cold 3 a.m. at J-F-K

Guess you stayed 'cause you wanted to stay

We went from zero to everything, all in a day

And then Kennedy took you away

I thought of a short robe that was keepin' you warm

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

You sit on a swing in the dark with a girl

And she tells you she wanted to kiss you and you know

The worst part of a good day is hearin' yourself say goodbye

That's one more possibility day

It goes on and on

I go west but your weather has changed

You're just scared, I'm mistaken 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 the top of a hill

And your body is breakin', the sky is just shakin'

And the worst part of a good day

Is knowing it's slippin' away

That's one more possibility day

It is gone

We were waitin' for winter this year

But you came and it never appeared

Me and you, we know too many reasons for people and seasons

To pass like they weren't even here

And now livin' in smiles is better, you say

We carry the burdens of all of our days

So I'm scared that you'll leave

And you're scared that I'll stay

It's an impossibility day

And we only saw half the ballet

I said goodnight, goodbye

It seemed 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 lyin' in bed and it says

That the best part of a bad day is knowin' it's okay

The color of everything changes

The sky rearranges its shade and your smile doesn't fade

Into a 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

When you pull down the shades

And you shut out the light

Because somehow we mixed up goodbye and goodnight

And the 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
