Possibility Days

It was a cold 3 a.m. at JFK
Guess you stayed cause you wanted to stay
We went from zero to everything, all in a day
And then Kennedy took you away

I thought of a short robe that was keeping you warm
And the moments that make up your life 'til you wake up
You sit on a swing in the dark with a girl and
She tells you she wanted to kiss you and you know...

The worst part of a good day is hearing yourself say goodbye
That's one more possibility day
It goes on and on

I go west but your weather has changed
You're just scared, I'm mistaken for strange
When you want me to leave, then you start to believe I should stay
But I gotta get out of LA

It seems like the short days are over
'Cause you just don't sleep in the daylight, so I don't sit up nights
I lie on my back on the top of a hill
And your body is breaking, the sky is just shaking

And the worst part of a good day is knowing it's slipping away
That's one more possibility day, it is gone

We were waiting for winter this year
But you came and it never appeared
Me and you, we know too many reasons for people and seasons
To pass like they weren't even here

And now living in smiles is better, you say
We carry the burdens of all of our days
So I'm scared that you'll leave, and you're scared that I'll stay
It's an impossibility day,and we only saw half the ballet

I said goodnight, goodbye
It seemed like a good thing, so you know it's a good lie
You can run out of choices, and still hear a voice in your head
When you're lying in bed and it says:

That the best part of a bad day is knowing it's okay
The color of everything changes
The sky rearranges its shade and your smile doesn't fade
Into a phone call and one bad decision we made

And the worst part of a good day is the one thing you don't say
And you don't know how, but you wish there was some way
So you pull down the shades and you shut out the light
Because somehow we mixed up goodbye and goodnight

And the one thing you won't say
Is everyone knows possibility days are impossible
It just feels wrong, so wrong
Still you're gone, long gone
