You're a mess at two in the morning
Bloodshot eyes and tears still running
Down porcelain cheeks
Asking all these questions
I can't answer.
You look so confused
As you pick up your board
Getting a running start to find peace
But it isn't here
It isn't with her
And certainly not with the rest.
Take a break
Drink some tea and settle back
Wake up and watch a sunrise or two
I think you forgot how to live
And I aim to change that.
