Today has been the longest day.
Funny, because nothing was done.
I think of all the things in life I've thrown away.
And I'm so happy you didn't let yourself be one.

The big picture is so hard to frame.
Must be it's size, I guess.
Today has been the longest day.
Maybe because I'm a mess.

Cigarettes on my breath,
And a shiver in my sigh.
Thought I would revel in my freedom from all that I shrugged off my shoulders,
But, that was a lie.

So, by and by I wait here.
By and by
Today was the longest day.
Someone help me understand why.
