Today.

Today, the sun's taking a little extra time to rise,
and i pulled the covers over my head.
it doesn't feel like it'll be a good day,
no, i think I'll just stay in bed.

no matter how many times i have that thought,
no matter how Grey the sky is outside
i keep on trekking through these days,
searching for a soul to confide.

but the paths are getting longer,
there are more road blocks in the way.
yeah, its freezing out, the sun's not shining,
today's just not my day.

today, i didn't bring my road map,
even though i knew I'd needed it.
today, i tried to be OK,
but that feeling didn't fit.

when all your friends are gone away.
when no one seems to care.
when your days start getting longer,
nothing seems too fair.
the distance it gets greater,
even if not literally,
you find yourself further from them,
then you really want to be.

you feel you're not worth the effort,
you feel so tiny, little, small.
in fact you feel so invisible,
it's like you're not there at all.
i guess we were taught this growing up,
friends move away, friends change.
new things are coming my way
it's about time i rearrange.

all the pictures in my room,
keep me holding onto the past.
maybe those forever friendships,
weren't really made to last.

sometimes when i wake up,
i think my initial reaction was right.
i should have stayed in bed,
because I'm only OK, but not quite.

but today, i keep on going
like I've done many times before.
today, I'll be content with life.
even if i want a bit more.
