A Change

We can't just go on feeling like this A kick, a comment, refused a goodbye kiss That verbal black eye that might have well have been a fist People around you not really giving a fuck You'll be OK, just think of the others, they're stuck in a rut Not me, oh no, I need a change of luck So where do I start and what direction to take A new job, a new start, a spruce of my CV with grades that are fake That boss that can have a laugh, taking me on out of good grace A change would do you good once sang Sheryl Crow Start a new path and leave the rest in tow Waking up with a perk instead of feeling so bloody low Coursing that path is an easy thing to write Jumping in-front of that speeding traffic, yes its a big fright But you have to move your story and take that daring bite For this cannot carry on forever as somethings has to be arranged Sail for new seas on a ship and to be blown in a different way As this is what I need, new shores, new goals, something so simple Yes, A change.
