Possibility Days

It was a cold 3AM at JFK I guess you stayed because 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 robe that was keeping you warm And the moments that make up your life until 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 hearing yourself say goodbye to one more possibility day It 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 But I gotta get out of LA 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 breaking the sky because you're shaking And the worst part of a good day is knowing it's slipping away That's one more possibility day that is 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 But 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 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 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 So you pull down the shades and you shut off the lights Because somehow we mixed up "Goodbye" and "Goodnight" And the one you won't say is "Everyone knows possibility days are impossible." It just feels wrong So wrong Still you're gone Long gone --- Possibility Days - Counting Crows
