A New Arrangement

If you could change your days Arranging them in some sweet new sequence like any new arrangement is going to make a difference because it is the moment that you are living in and not the one that follows that makes the mess you are cleaning in your head And time still drags you forward although you keep resisting because you know it is what you leave behind you will soon start missing, and the people you once counted on say it's all depending on how you act and how you treat yourself and that is not very well So Baby when I call for you I want you to come and explain yourself to everyone You nod in an acknowledgment of your frequent mood swings But what good is acknowledgment? It still don't change things We've tried all forms of encouragement and it's still no better You can't seem to fake or force a smile Not even a little one So Baby, when I call for you I want you to come and lay it out for everyone exactly how it was before any of this happened and why you can't leave it behind Don't just sit there when I call to you I told you to come and lay it out for... Don't feel awkward Lay it out for everyone
