Possibility Days Songtext

von Counting Crows

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

I thought of a short road that was keeping you warm
And the moments that make up your life till you wake up
You sit on a swing in the dark with the girl
And she tells you she wanted to kiss you
And you know the worst part of a good day
Is hearing your self say
Goodbye to one more possibility day
Goes on... And on.

I go west but your weather has changed
Your just scared I'm mistaken for strange
When you want me to leave then you start to believe I should stay
I gotta to 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 top of a hill and your body is breaking the sky...
Cause your shaking

And the worst part of a good day
Is knowing it's slipping away
That one more possibility day
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
That pass like they weren't even here

Now living in smiles is better you say
We carry the burdens of all of our days
So scared that you'll leave... 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 its 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 its ok
The color of everything changes, the sky rearranges its shade
And your smile doesn't fade into the phone call
And one bad decision we've 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
