there was a call at 3am at jfk
I guess you stayed cause you wanted to stay
and we went from 0 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
it goes on
and on

I go west but your weather has changed
your just scared, I mistake it for strange
when you want me to leave
then you start to believe I should stay
I got 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 the top of a hill
and your body is breaking the sky cause you're shaking
and the worst part of a good day
is knowing its slipping away
thats one more possibility day
that 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

not 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
its an impossibility day
we only saw half the ballet

I said goodnight, goodbye
it seems 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 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
cause somehow we mixed up goodbye and goodnight
and the one thing you wont say
is everyone knows possibility days are impossible
it just feels wrong, so wrong
still you're gone, long gone
