| Description: |
An acoustic song with nonsense lyrics making perfect sense
|
| Notes: |
This is the result of frustration with writers' block. I hadn't written any new songs in way too long and it was driving me crazy, so I found an old free-form "essay" I'd written some time ago and set music to some of it. Ironicly, this song ended up containing some of my favourite lyrics out of all my songs.

| Lyrics: |
i didn't sleep tomorrow
it's easy enough to tell you that today
i still feel the soap on my legs
and it's too bad breakfast is finished
i really don't know why i'm keeping it
in my purse, but it's there if you ever need it
goodnight storm clouds
that keep me awake
one day i'll have wings to fly
away from you
but then i won't, because
running into trees hurts more than the rain on my bare feet
your hair looks so soft now
that's how i remember it always was before
don't let them condition you
the way they did ten thousand times to me
i really don't know when it rains again
have my umbrella, i don't mind the beating
it's not even raining, surprise,
maybe tomorrow.. when i didn't sleep
