The smell of damp leaves
whirls around me
There's a chill in the air
and a sense of mischief
in the sway of the trees
It's coming
It's coming...

One of those days
where the tears sit
poised to fall
One of those days
where your heart
curls up into a ball
One of those days
where the need to retreat
is almost too strong to resist
One of those days
where you really
just need an
EXIT
One of those days
where basic human interaction
is a struggle
One of those days
where life just feels
like too much to juggle
One of those days
where your brain feels
like it's going to riot
One of those days
where you really just
want to be
quiet
One of those days
where you can't tell
if any of it is real
or all in your mind
One of those days
where you really
just don't want to be kind
One of those days
where you don't feel
too stable
One of those days
where you just want
to be
i n v i s i b l e
It's just one of those days
Know what I mean?

When the day to day
becomes too much
you are the quiet calm
waiting on the other side

Whenever I need
a little sunshine
I look at you
and watch you radiate love

"I bought books,"
I confessed.
"You have no money.
Why are you buying more books?"
they demanded to know.
"Because I was hungry."

All my fears
All my doubts
All my insecurities
are put to bed
when you look at me
