Thirteen Days

The moment you leave you will be asking for more
But I know what it is for
Still for a time I could act surprised
As soon as, it seems you will be where you were last
But with no one to laugh at
So I wouldn't try for a second time

When you're alone, there will be no one to say
Whether or not it's okay
Your comfort can come in so many forms
Waiting to be shown every now and again
That you're willing to bet
And where should you go when your soul is torn?

It didn't have to be that way
You're just in time for somebody else's holiday
It didn't have to be that way
You're just in time for somebody else's holiday

It's more like a friend who you know from a dream
That you never would meet
So all of your thoughts would be wasted on her
The climb and descend where you wanted to rest
If you're willing to guess
But that's not a promise I should offer

The risk that you take everyday you're alive
Is enough to retire
But that's not a reason to be modest
Ways of mistake if you humor your pride
If you're willing to lie
At least to yourself you were being honest

It didn't have to be that way
You're just in time for somebody else's holiday
It didn't have to be that way
You're just in time for somebody else's holiday
