歌词

I got up late on this day
A day where nothing really happened
I got dressed and poured cereal
I looked three more years in the eyes
As I went out the door outside
The bus was full of strangers
Full of lives that lived uncommon
And eyes that did their best to look elsewhere
Everyone too proud to admit interest
In something other than phones or windows
I watched the gray slide on the city in sheets
And Shadyshide stood in muted color
Something felt off today
I know that good comes from within
But everything sang in wet tepidity
A woman wiped rain from her eyes
And scrubs slicked to a student's skin
As she looked too far forward
A place full of health saw shaking hands pull smoke
And I thought to myself
Already a third finished with my life
If ever that grip comes to challenge all that I've never done
Let me go with haste along the river
So that I may blossom once more
