Lyrics

It was a cold three am 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 till 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
to one more possibility day
that goes on
and on

I go west but your weather has changed
You? re just scared, I mistake it for strange
When you want me to leave
then you start to believe I should stay
I gotta get out of L. A

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 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
that 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 ok
the color of everything changes
the sky rearranges it? s 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
