Days Like This

by Emma Carnage   Aug 14, 2005


The sun is new
Only on days like this
When you wake up confused
Not sure what day it is

After you've forgotten your schedule
And all you do is lay around
The sun is only new
When your life is not bound

Walk outside and look up
Let the sun hit your face
It calms your mind
Brings you down to a steady pace

If you can go to the mirror
And change not one thing about you
And still find yourself perfect
That is when the sun is new

To spend the day lying in the grass
Watching the clouds go by
Spending hours this way
And no one stops to ask why

Watching childhood movies
And thinking of the past
Knowing all your regrets
And coming to peace with them, at last

Waste the day away
Like you would as a kid
And when the day is over
Be proud of what you did

The sun is new
Only on days like this
When there's no hurry or rush
When everything just... is
